Should I make the move?

Well it was either put up a make shift divider to keep the lights off 24/7 cause my orinos wouldn't stop tourturing the poor kels. Constant chasing and nipping. I stole some suction cups from work and had some leftover gravel and a cheap arse mesh Landry bag lol. Wala

Yep Orino love to chase and start fights. Orino are bad arse but azul are even nastier.

Ugh It was awful lol. Plus I didn't take into consideration the glass thickness so when my kels went into the big tank they were a little smaller than anticipated. My convict dither idea was a no go ha. They go after the orinos!

the orinos got through my mesh divider lol should have figured. Went with the good ole eggcrate.



the orinos are pissed lol. They are so mean it's ridiculous. Only to other bass though I added two convicts and they completely left them alone it's wierd. They get along fine with them. All they want is to chase around my kels it's annoying. My plan is to power feed the kels now that there hammering massivore and hope tey grow faster. I think they will considering I've had my freakin orinos for easily 6 months now and they hardly have grown.

Orino's are the meanest sob's in the cichla realm from my experience.
Next time I get orino's it will be an orino only tank.
And....kelberi are the biggest sissies.

haha Yeah probably not the best mix I got going here. Like I said the Orinos are SUPER slow growing and Im hoping the kels outgrow them within a couple months. What are the chances the bullying isnt as bad when the kels outsize them? Also why do they leave the convicts alone. Thats what bothers me.

Or maybe I just have to get another tank muhuhaha
