Sooo.... I had the 2 apistos that spawned, if anyone remembers.. And I wound up with about 12 fry, that Herefishy just got. now out of no where the blue guy (i assume its the dude) starts chasing off the yellow one (whom i assume is female). It gets to the point where he will go looking for a fight just to pick on her. Finally a couple days ago she was laying on her side barely able to swim (this happened before, but shortly after they were both fine with each other) and he would swim over and beat her with his tail.
Today.... shes gone :\ just... missing. On the other hand theres a severum and 6 trilineatus cories in there so if she bit the bullet shes fish food by now
Anyone know why this would happen? just... out of the blue and after spawning even? I thought most cichlids were family oriented, apistos included. And.. if I got 1 or 2 more and a pair of blue rams is there any way to keep him from terrorizing them too?
