Red Isletas Settling In Nicely

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He is definetly a mean fish at times but for the most part he allows the parrot to swim around the tank without bothering him. For some reason he hates my pleco, the plecos fins are all torn and he's forced to hide behind the filters for cover. But he's eating really good and is full of personality, thanks again for him cichlidinsomniac. I do have a question for you guys, i'm leaving for florida this sunday i'll be gone for 6 days, will he be okay without eating for this amount of time or should I have someone come by to feed him while i'm gone?

He will be fine without eating.

Your welcome, he will be fine.
 
Well I came back from florida and the fish look just the same as when I left but the pleco got killed, the Red Isleta was really kicking his butt so that doesnt totally surprise me. Do think there is enough room in the 90 for another fish or should I just leave him and the parrot?

Too bad You aren't closer I have a female He would love. I'd say unless You can find a mate it would be very risky introducing another fish in that size tank.
