Oooh, sorry, man. Reminds me of the fish I used to have. One died of unknown causes, and the other jumped out of the fishbowl, landed on the floor, and died. We believe it to be suicide. Hmmmmm.....

Don't make fun of African Cichlids.  They're awesome fish to watch.

They're downright mean to each other.  One of mine is missing most of his tail right now.

I had African Cichlids a long time ago. One of them actually at the eye out of another cichlid after they battled. It was nasty. They then proceeded to pick at the dead body.

Awesome fish, indeed.

That's the one thing I don't like about them; something about the whole picking apart dead bodies creeps me out.  One day I went down to check on them and they were all fine.  Then I came back an hour or two later and then BAM! all of a sudden a dead fish with no eyes popped out from under the filter return.

That's really scary. One of my cichlids was hyper as hell. It'd just swim around the rim of the fishtank all day at like 50 miles per hour.

Then we came home and it was on the floor, asphyxiated.

It popped out from the spped and died.  :P

At least half my Cichlids have had their tails chewed off at one point or another.

Good thing they grow back.

And one of mine looked like he was mugged or something.  He had cuts all over the side of his body, all of his fins had been chewed.

He recovered, but he's antisocial now.

The cobalt blue cichlid that you saw in the video recently overthrew the big yellow lab and took control of the tank.  That was pretty bad.  I had to put the yellow lab in a breeder basket so he could wouldn't get killed.

So apparently it's a fish eat fish world?

They don't eat each other, they just fight.  Mostly they are just little skirmishes, but sometimes they get pretty intense.

I remember when I was like, 5 or 6 years old, and my parents got us fish. I loved em, but I was really confused when my mom put them in a tank.

"Mom, if that one's called a Japanese Fighting Fish, shouldn't we keep it away from the others?"


...yeah, that didn't turn out so well the next morning.  :-* :(

Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss.




Do fish make good pets? I keep asking my parents if they'd let me buy some, but they say "You already have plenty of pets". I have a dog, and, well, there's always Otis... sea monkeys, and that's about it. I mean, my little sister had a fish that passed away last year, and my parents just got my little brother an anole (which is like a small gecko-chameleon thing (That you have to feed a whole bunch of crickets to all the time. :-*) but it's kinda cool otherwise. Changed from green to brown for camoflouge.) a few months ago, but I've been asking for fish for quite some time now. They seem like cool pets, but my parents say they're boring.   :'(

Quite the opposite in my tank.  My cobalt blue Cichlid used to be the head fish, but we have this copper colored one (Brown with a shade of orange on his head and fins) who just took over.

So, I went to a couple pet stores and got a bunch of new fish:  four johannies (three females one male) a bumblebee cichlid, and two red zebra cichlids (one is female, the other too small to tell).

Oh, snap!  Taxonomy fail.  The so called male johanni was actually an electric blue johanni (melanochromis cyaneorhabdos), which is a separate species from what I thought it was (melanochromis johanni)
