Free African Cichlid Zebra

[marki24]

I have a Zebra that is very aggressive and I didnt mind her being aggressive and the boss of the tank until today when he really wanted to kill my catfish. I have my catfish for 15 years so go figure that the zebra is going out instead of the catfish. I have pictures of it if you would like. It will be fine in an all african cichlid tank but i have a mix that is why it causes a problem.

And like I said its free its a male around 5 inches long basically fully grown.

HAHAAH both my catfish and pleco fight with my ciclids and oscars. The funny thing is that my red fin silver barb fight with my ciclids as well.

oops should I use personal account for this kind of postings?

Do you have a pic Mark?
What kind of catfish do you have in an African cichlid tank, and what other cichlids are mixed in there?

 

[marki24]

Yes i do have a picture but you wanna see pics of my whole tank or just the fish. Well i also have a huge severum in there and the catfish and all other are african cichlids. This fish have been with me for years and years. Tank is about 10 years old. I will post pictures later when i get a chance.

Thanks everyone. I love my africans they are very interesting and smart fish. And extremely fast and hard to catch.

Today, I will be in Williamsburg area and after that I can pick it up. Please call me if you have caught him. I have a 150G now for all my cichlids except ...hmm... those tiny baby convicts.

Oh he has been caught already since the day i posted this thread. He is awaiting his new home.

Thanks for the fish. My same size zebra is not liking him too much though. They are having some skirmishes as of typing.


During the time I went to pick up your fish, I left my two other fish for my helper to acclimate for the 150G . But sadly enough , my HUGE frontosa killed the 9" Empress(?) in the bucket and my worker do not realize they were fighting.

Well thats what happens when you put two aggressive fish into a small container. Eventually one will have to go. Sorry to hear that. Like i said in the PM just give it time for the fish to get "used" to each others and most likely the fighting will fade away. My Zebra was really a bully so its funny hearing it being bullied but i am not surprise since its being introduce into a new tank. Keep me update.

So true but the the two fish were living in the same cave in my old tank. So sad they have to come to this. In this hobby a lot of the times when you want to improve the living environment of your live stocks turns out to be just the other way.
