Does your store carry afras?

No they don't. Also, another cichlids died today, but this one was in qt. I didn't think it would last long. Last nite when I saw it swimming weird and it looked like it had a pinched stomach. I'm going to try to get a refund Saturday.

btw, I wanted a different one but the guy at the lfs gave me that one with the stomach problem -_-

They stopped for a while but now they've started again. Ill try to take them back this week. Do you think colbalt blues would do the same?

Also I got some more labs, I got 5 in total (I bought 2)

weird, I fed them and they stopped lol

Are you talking about the zebras and their on again, off again aggression? My guess is that they will continue to go at it until something changes.

Ok, I'll see what I can do about returning them.

What's the status on this tank?

Its doing ok. I now have 2 zebras and 3 labs (1 additional lab in qt and I'm planning on adding more. Sorry I haven't posted lately I've been really busy with school hw. I'm in the works of setting up a 10g qt

It never hurts to quartine new fish for about 1o days.
Make sure they are not sick before you intrduce them to your tank.
Some people even treat them with mild meds.
I don't treat them I use stress coat and watch them closely.

Yeah, I know how to qt, I have a 5g qt I'm just upgrading it.
