thanks, killer, do your cichlids ever go after one another, especially your jag?

 

[Cohazard]

I keep a couple oscars, severums, geophagus, a green terror, and an EBJD with mine.

No issues.

I've got two senegals in a 180 with a pair of oscars, some geophagus and a shoal of metynnis and myleus and there fine. They eat a lot of the scraps that the others don't get.

Hi Anne! Can you post a photo of a Palmas. A LFS here is selling a 5" one for $9, and I just wanna know if it's worth it. There's also a 3" albino Sen for $9 - is this price okay? Thanks!
