You can't just dislike cichlids in general just because some are "bullies". If that's your only reason, then why do you dislike angels, discus, severums, rams, apistos, sajicas, etc.?Mudslinger14;4694506; said:Get a separate tank and either put the cichlids or the shovelnose in there.
Thats why I don't like cichlids. They're BULLIES![]()
