Bit of a problem ...
My beautiful cichlid Jaune has all along been a nice fish. We had an upset here about a week ago when I stopped feeding as much to try and clear up the tank, Jaune got upset and took my platy Tangerine. I blamed myself for that.
Since then he has been back to playing nice and being friendly but this morning he was following around one of the baby Columbian Sharks ... they went behind a castle and only Jaune came out. My children quickly called for help but it was too late, Pierre was gone.
I've taken Jaune and his mate Yellow out and put them in a smaller tank with water from the big tank, borrowed some rocks, shells and trees.
I was weary when I got the cichlids but I was assured at the FS that they were only "semi" aggressive and would be fine with everyone else. This is obviously not the case.
Now I must decide to either start a cichlids tank or take them back to the store.
I feel so bad that this happened and I know now not to trust the fish guys anymore. Ugh I'm a moron.
