Hi
Here is my 9in Mr Jack, he is about 1.5yr old.
He grow up with those malawis and I never really have problems, the key to keep relative peace in a tank was that log which work as Jack’s cave.
From few days I noticed that after the light go off Jack starts to following few of the bigger guys (well mainly OB peacock and borley cichlid - top dogs of my malawis) and he tries to nip them. There isn’t too much aggresion involved and I dont see and damage on them but I m worried that it might change.
What you recon guys- is this just a first step and soon he might wants to kill them? 68EAC26D-993D-4B0C-A2B8-6B79CB148999.jpeg0E555CF1-931E-48A2-954E-3E024625F8E6.jpeg17684EBF-0691-4F99-A3B8-A72ACBE582AE.jpegA7188DC8-AF30-4D81-992E-9DB2117EC561.jpeg
