On the weekend I made the jump, a LFS that I regularly go to I ordered in a delhezi and a gold dust. He said that on his order form they should come in at around the 2"-4" length. While I'm still waiting for my 180 to be built I currently am going to throw them my 46 that has 3 cichlids in it. Will I have to worry about them picking on the bichir? And what sort of cover wound be best for them to have to get comfortable in the new tank?
Jumping in
- Thread starter Arkeon
- Start date
What type of cichlids ? Adding new fish to reestablished pecking or can be risky...or uneventful depends on their peraonality
Put in a piece of drift wood or something they can hide in to feel comfortable and you should be good.
Make sure cichlids not to big cause 2"-4" poly are thin and they might get eaten.
Food competition can be an issue, in my measly two months of experience keeping polys lol
What cichlids?
Many here keep polys with cichlids, it just depends on the species and the temperament of the individual fish.
Congrats on joining the poly community!

I have no clue of the cichlids, just know they are African. They came with a tank I got. These 3 are the only ones I could save from the **** conditions the last owner had them in.
I have drift wood already in the tank but they have dug a hole under it already. I'll have to toss in some more rocks and attach some sword to it. I know my pleco loved to hide in the plants.
