Ok so about a months or so ago i was thinking about getting into african cichlids which i did. So i traded some fish in and and gave my friend my clown knife for his 180. I have a a few mbunas and some tangs in a 20 gallon starter tank till they grow a little bit. Then about a few weeks ago my friend called me and asked me to come over and check his tank out for him. Went over and didnt like what i saw. He decided to go out and buy a jag and buttis i didnt know about. Also in his tank is a fire eel and a small school of red hook sd's. Well long story short. The jag and buttis picked off 3 of the 6 sd's and put a beating on the fire eel and my ck. He said he didnt know it was gonna happen but he should have done a lil home work first. He said if i didnt want to take my ck back he was going to trade it in. So i didnt want it in his tank and i didnt want him to trade it in because thats not why i gave it to him fro free. So i took it back and right now he is in my 55 gallon with a palmas bichir and a small bumblebee cichlid. The ck is only 7 inches. So now i plan on keeping the ck no matter what and idk what i should do with the africans. The ck will go in the 150 when i move into a bigger place but i also wont have the 55 gallon probly. I'll have a 30 gallon tho so could I keep the tangs in the 30 for life because i know the mbunas get too big for a 30. I also wanted to know what i could keep with the ck. I have a gold sev in the 30 right now that will go with the ck in a few weeks.
 
I would be disappointed in my friend if he tried to trade in a fish I gave him. If he didn't want it he should have refused; but at least he gave you a chance to reclaim.
 
Yea and I'm glad he is my favortie fish. Its very hard to get him to eat anything but live food tho
