Tank Mates

Can BP's suffer from lonliness?

Fri, 03/05/2010 - 23:52 — we4wieners

I am working on my DIY background in my 60g tank...will post pics w/ progress. I have a problem....3-BP's......2 of them have decided that they have alot in common and have spent every minute together over the last week. The 3rd BP is a bit smaller, yet very healthy and probably the best eater in the tank, but he is always alone. He swims alone all day long while the others play reindeer games together. He has gotta feel awful, especially knowing that we see him being outcasted. He's got a pretty cool attitude and an even better smile.

We have two baby blood parrots in our 55 gallon tank with other baby cichlids. The bigger of the two (bubbles) Does fine standing her ground, Mr. Iggy on the other hand had to be moved to our 10 gallon tank with our fruit tetras for "rehabilitation". He seems to be.....handicapped, since we've got him. He swims sideways, and like to lay at the bottom of the tank to 'rest'. Or on the roof of the castle. Today he had been picked on more than usual and decided to start gasping as he layed on the bottom of the tank.

Alright you guys, I'm hoping some people can give me some advice.... My fiance just started a tank of African cichlids, and while we were looking at fish for his tank, I fell in love with this parrot cichlid. The guys at Petland here where I live keeps calling him a Candy Parrot Cichlid, but I can't find any information about those anywhere. This particular parrot is about 2-2 1/2" in length, and a beautiful bright orange. The guy says he's been in their store for a while and would love to find him a home it's just been hard because he has an eye problem.

I have a 30 gallon tank with 1 parrot&a pleco. Are there any tank mates I could add ? I realize, with a tank this size, the fish would have be smaller, non aggressive&not food for my parrot.

Any ideas ?

When I went to Vancouver to visit my sister, we went  to a restaurant called "Fish Lovers. "

I was in paradise. They had huge tanks, small tanks, built in tanks & even, tanks on the walls which looked like picture frames but were actually  aquariums full of small fish.
