So I posted another thread about how my sals don't really do anything. Well I added some coconut caves and they're getting better but still a little skittish. They're in a tank with serpaes and a pair of kribs ( I know they're African and this is only temporary ). The serpaes are decreasing obviously but I just think its weird cause the female krib is just as small even slightly smaller than the serpaes. I think she's even sick too cause I can catch her with my hand and she doesn't swim a lot ( I tried treating her with salt but nothing changes). But shes still alive as of today. I just find it weird that the sals go for the faster swimming serpaes rather than the female krib that just chills at the bottom. I even caught them in the same cave once.

kribs are riverine, different from the lake africans. they are more compatible with new world cichlids
 
Can anyone tell me why my pair is attacking the glass in their tank? I have a black background btw. Can they see their reflection in it? Theyve been going at it for 10 minutes.

Yeah, if you have a background (not painted) then when the lights are on in the tank they can see their reflection. This makes them perceive their reflection as another fish entering their territory.
