Yep the Het has been a little tool! Being male it thinks it can be a little sneak and nip at the tail. Porkchop is so mild it is kind of a pain. If this were a male pearsei there would be less peace and more issues. I am hoping even if it is a larger dither like a silver dollar for example that it would make the het not so nasty.
No soap box there....makes sense to me !You all know how I feel - I am not at all into poly carpets and I totally support people who want to reduce stock in order to reduce bioload, which means reducing water changes, which means reducing work, and which means reducing the likelihood that the water quality will be high in something that makes the fish ill. Or at the very least swapping out fish that keeps your tank more interesting to you.
I don't get why people are giving him pushback. Don't forget, he also has a Persei which is huge and a big bioload contributor.
We should all be into this to enjoy the hobby, AND to take the best care of the fish we own. They're living beings, not inanimate collectibles.
*off soapbox* (though I promise I'll get back on it again sometime. LOL)
If you want more tank interest and to really love the polys you have, that makes total sense to me. If you have to do huge WCs which you resent, and then aren't psyched to stare at your tank, get rid of a few fish and replace with ones that bring interest back. (Like your bala)
I think you should get rid of the Koliba for sure. Why keep a hider that doesn't have some other quality that you really like?
Same with Croc - hider and aggressive, but if you love the way she looks, well....? I wouldn't really want to put up with an aggressive hider myself, but I guess it depends on how much her looks trump those 2 things for you.
Do not get rid of the Weeksii! She is cool looking but most importantly has one of the largest personalities in all of the polys in this forum.
Only get rid of that gorgeous green Faranah Lap if you are giving her to me.
Another option would be to get rid of the Nigerian lap and the Koliba. Then you have one lap, one endli, one weeksii, one ansorgii. But if your goal is to keep interest and activity, I think getting rid of the two hiders makes the most sense.
At this point they all stay.... if I feel it is getting to be too much then maybe a rehome.
Probably should have mentioned I really like a clean tank so I put more work into it than required.
Well at least use a net.... dont just grab it.I was ready to grab the koliba
It does seem like the tank has been easier to maintain with one less cichlid. With the 12.5" Snook being gone the tank seems to stay cleaner longer.
