This is my first post so hi all.
last month i got a used tank that came with to many fish. Just need a bit of help on what to get rid of. The tank is 8x2x2 the list of fish is as follows
3 gold severums
1 green severum
2 oscars
1 sengal bircher
1 clown knife fish
1 miyan cichlid
1 yellow midas
1 nile talipaia
3 silver dollars
2 jack dempseys
1 salvini
1 losselie (sp?)
1 texas cichlid
Thanx in advance for any replys
 
Wow you have some peaceful cichlids (severums) with some nasties( salvini lioselle and midas). Texas and jacks could go either way depending on the indiviual. It is a good size tank though. Decide what you like either keep the severums and dump the nasties or keep the nasties and dump the severums. Oscars should be 0.k. with anything since they get large. Clown knife will outgrow that tank. Not sure about temperment of the miyan. If you keep the tough guys get lots of rockwork or bogwood as fights are assured.
 
Would you want an aggressive or not so aggressive tank. Answering that question would probably give you some ideas on which ones to get rid of.
 
I would get rid of the clown knife, then decide whether u want aggressive or non aggressive and start getting rid of the ones who dont fit that category. id keep the silver dollars either way cuz they make good dithers.
 
i'd get rid of the clown knife. it will be the largest and may need an even larger tank one day. for the rest it just depends on what you like.
 
rite then the severums are on the eviction list and also the clown knife (might wait a while for him to grow a bit he is only 4 inch at tho mo) would that bring the stocking to a more acceptable level? tank is decorated with a load of bogwood by the way.
