Hey Guys, I have a gold barred midas in my 200 gallon. He used to be a positive member of my community, until he decided to systematically rip the eyes out of every one of my fish. I was forced to move my breeding pike cichlid pair before they got shredded. Have any of you had this problem with this species?
 
wow, that sux. either get rid of the midas or get rid of the other fish.
 
yep i tryed to put a rockbass in with my fh, eyes where ripped out fins ripped to shreads and the rockbass could barely be identifyed as a rockbass!!

I would keep the midas see as how all of the other fish have no eyes, but if you do keep the other fish, I would buy those cave fish that also have no eyes, that way no one else in the tank feels left out.

Does any one remember Saturday night live and "deep thoughts" with Jack Handy?
 
Yup they tend to do that...mean fish!! Either find it a seprate tank to find you other fish a new home!
