Hi Everyone,
I currently have 9 cichlids in a 112 gallon tall tank (Well i had to take out 3 because of fighting). I had about 15 before plus a green scat who acted like a "peacekeeper". Now that i'm down to 9, the two biggest ones fight (would be till the death unless i separated them, i've lost 2 full grown electric blues already). Once i take one out, the next two biggest in the tank will fight.
I've decided to change the tank to a saltwater tank and either selling my cichlids or relocating ALL of them into a 45 gallon tall. Would the closer quarters cause more or less aggression?? if not possible, I want to keep at least my 5" Aulonocara cobue (in the 45g), and maybe one or two other 4" males? would this be possible with plenty decoration?
Thank you!
