Nothing. Your tank is FULL of incompatible species as it is. Read more and correct your stock so that you dont lose some of those fish in the near future...If you dont, future threads from you will be:

Why is my JD missing an eye and have shredded fins?

Why are my bumblebee catfish ripped in half?

Why is my Loisellei constantly hiding and swimming in circles?

etc etc etc.

That 5 star will whip everyones ass. The wolf will shred the bumblebee cats and the Loisellei when he idly swims by in the dark looking for food.

READ READ READ about the fish you have, their compatible tankmates and what NOT to put them with then correct your setup.

Your impulsive buys have put your fish in harms way. Fix it asap or hear it from everyone on here every time you make a post.

Yea, I can tell because they are all still alive. That wont last long. Everything you just said will be the opposite sooner than later. These are fish and you have juveniles. If you think they wont change, NOTHING you know about them will be the same in a few months other than they will live in water and eat.

No offense, but its a disaster (cage match) waiting to happen...and I kid you not, that 5 star is one of the meanest, baddest, most violent fish you can keep in an aquarium...and the wolf is just about an apex predator, made to kill, need be. If he gets hungry, he will kill anything in the tank with ease.

Just wondering...Is this your first go around with cichlids? Aggressive fish?

i think your tank is pretty good man. I would try waiting to see how they do as they grow

well, ok, so I guess youre asking "If it were me"?

As much as I like them, Id ditch the 5 star, wolf fish & JD (or put them in tanks of their own) and get some HRP's (or convicts), a neet or 2, a Beani or istlanum, some clown loaches and call it a day...tank setup being:


1 x Beani or Istlanum (8-12" max, depends on sex)
1 x Loisellei Cichlid (8-12" max depends on sex)
2 x 6" Bumblebee Catfish (6-8" max i believe)
2 x HRP or Cons (all one sex, probably male) 3-6" max, depending on species/ sex
1 x Neetroplus nematopus (4-5" max)
4 x clown loaches (12+" but VERY slow growth rate...start off with 2-3"ers)

I agree, but why get rid of the Jack Dempsey? He should be no prob with a Loisellei right?

Oh yes, he should be fine aggression-wise. I was answering it as "If it were me, what would I do"...and I personally dont like JDs, so that was just what stock preference Id have.
