Cichlid MURDER!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Also, my female is hiding alot, could that mean they are breeding? SHE NEVER GOT FAT...
 
Ok, the title might be a LITTLE dramatic but it caught your attention LOL:) Anyways, I had 2x Jewel Cichlids, 1 x Yellow Lab 1x Acei Cichlid 1x Rainbow in a 30 gallon. Well, I found my Acei Cichlid with its head torn off, belly ripped open, and eye pulled out of its socket! And, all my other fish were all beat up to! Now ALL are moved out EXCEPT for the 2 Jewels. And, it kinda sucks to only have 2 small fish in a 30 gallon So, What else could I put in there that will not outgrow the tank AND the Jewels will not kill? (If Anything...) Thanks for the advice!:D

Nothing you either need to keep the Jewels by themselves or get rid of them. For their size Jewels can be extremely aggressive. Perhaps you have a breeding pair.....
Plus a 30 Gallon is way to small for anything else to be housed with Jewels. I personally would keep them or sell them. Then purchase 5-6 Mbuna or maybe a Colony of Brichardi....
