(Update on the fry) everyone say hello to Hannibal Lecter! About 3 weeks ago I start losing fry. I panic I check my water I did water changes I did everything possible and I still was losing fish. The fish are only one inch long so I didn't notice any damage .soI took a magnifying glass to examine the dead fish and seen there was nips I didn't think this could be possible at such a small size but there was one bigger than the other fish. So I move my lazy boy chair over to the fish room and I sat there all night watching.this fish is so aggressive at that size of inch and a half he was wrecking the other fish not because he was hungry they were well-fed it was because he claimed the territory by the Sponge Filter. I was like WTF even at this size this fish is so territorial never seen this type of behavior in a fish so small and I have raised all types of super aggressive cichlids. It's been 3 weeks now and not one fish dead. What a relief now I can continue putting some size on them to get them out to you guys they have been transferred to a bigger tank with constant water changes and power feeding should be up to size soon
