What did you do, Dev? How did you address the problem?

 

[devder1]

ended up putting him in my mixed ca/sa tank i thought i was basically euthanizing him, but he is the only fish i have ever put in there that they will not touch
so meanwhile my new flagfish are recovering nicely
only one was attacked so im hoping both grow into stunners

thx for the concern lupin

No problem, Dev. How big was the killifish? They tend to be four inches big so I don't think at that size, most fish would love to eat one like that.

ya they are just really aggresive but I'm glad they are getting along swimmingly
She (the killie) is about 3"

if the cichlids don't eat it, those large killies are usually "out of the way" to the point they might not get killed by many cichlids from what I've seen
