Hi -
I recently (like today) got a ~4 inch ck and I put him into a 125 gallon tank with a similar sized NTT, sun cat and a ~12 inch pike cichlid. I know the pike is a threat but it is a very mellow pike, only displaying aggression when other fish touch it or swim into its lair. In any case, there are other areas to hide for the ck. Instead, however, it sits on the bottom. It also appears as if parts of the ck's skin are shedding. Just wondering if anyone knows what may be causing this and what it entails.
