HOSStile Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Here is one of my 2 nyerei chasing fish around in this 90 gal. You can basically see how much rock work I have for 20 fish no elongotus though. Edited September 17, 2005 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHG Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) From the angle of that photo it appears that the entire bottom of the tank is covered in rocks. Why not re-arrange the rock setup by keeping a "pile" on the right side of the tank and another on the left, leaving a wide open swimming space in the middle. I think that may help your fish aggression situation with the nyereri, which BTW is a beautiful fish. J PS: From what little I can see in the photo that is one MEGA stand and canopy you have there. Was that made by Majestic Aquariums? Edited September 17, 2005 by JHG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulakka Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I am sorry that you cannont get the picture up and running, I am new to this site and maybe I am not doing the right thing,,, but my rock work is alot higher than the one in the pic that you have posted with many caves to hide in. that crimson is just controling all of the caves at the moment :grr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Leaving open floor space between rock piles can help curb aggression with some cichlids. One large pile is essentially seen as one territory, whereas a couple smaller piles (I currently have 3 in a 4' 77 bowfront) can provide separate territories for separate males to defend. It's worked very well for me and has allowed two, even three male Ps. polit to show full colour almost all the time (and this is a fish that supposedly needs huge tanks to curb their crazy aggressiveness and allow more than one male to display at a time).

neely Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 those are just aggressive fish- i had to get rid of mine for the same reason. the little bugger wouldnt leave anyone else alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahim101 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Another option would be to add some females of the same species into the tanks. They might distract him enough to leave the other species of fish alone!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
