well ok i think i made a minor mistake i got 5 new giant danios that are around 2-3 inches long and i got 1 new fire mouth thats around a inch long. i put them into my 55 gallon holding tank why i set up my 125 again and in the 55 right now i got 1 8 inch albino seny bichir 1 8 inch regular seny bichir 1 9 inch delhezi and a 4 inch palmas polli (i think it is). the mistake is do u think any of the new fish will live all the bichirs are old residents for a few weeks now after i gave the others to a firend? will they get eatin or will they be fine i noticed the the fire mouth has cloud eye and the one of the danios got ich and the rest are acting weird.
 
uve got some nice feeders in there!!!!
 
ok well 2 more of the danios have been eating but the fire mouth is hold its own!!!!!! he atks th bichirs get like 2 to 3 inches away from his spot its crazy to watch flares and every thing i love to watch it. fire mouth always wins!!!!!
 
lol this will be short lived
 
hahaha yea short lived i got no danios left and the firemouth have half the tank to its self!!!!!!! it like this one peice of deco and wont let anything near it. so i think it might acutaly make it...... just hope i think my friend is gona give me a small 2 inch oscar but i dont think they will eat it. to fat.
 
1 inch firemouth holding its own against 8 inch + polys? crazy. i say you're pushing you're luck. you should move your small cichlid somewhere else, or something.

i knew they might get eatin but not so fast........ and i still think the firemouth might be s fighter.
He will be gone when you wake up within a week.When my bichirs eat other fish they always seem to do it at night and I notice in the morning lol.

:popcorn: Firemouth gone yet ?

If not go check :ROFL:
 
hahaha well he got eatin but not bye the delhezi that ate all but 1 danio lol well he got eatin by the smallest bichir in there the 5 incher that i now think is a retro from looking at it geting the firemouth down the reason i didnt take it out of its mouth is because the bite when the retro got a hold of it ripped off its head......... but the retro got it down fine and is happy about its large last meal for the day.....
