I was doing a google search on peaceful fish and stumbled across this from cichlidrecipe.com:


"Copadichromis - "Utuka". Very similar to the Peacocks, although they are plankton feeders. From Lake Malawi. They are also very peaceful, and polygamous mouthbrooders, and, like most fish which reproduce this way, do best in large groups or 1m/2f trios. With care they can be kept in tanks as small as 20 gallons, although they usually do better in something 30+. The larger species (C. quadrimaculatus, C. borleyi ) do better in tanks 55+. Only males develop bright colors. (Formerly Haplochromis)"

Now the thing that grabbed my attention was that it said that Copadichromis species are very peaceful:eek:

Is this true? An African Cichlid that's peaceful?? :)

When they say peaceful do they mean community with smaller fish peaceful? Or peaceful with other Africans?

Also i was wondering if they get aggressive when spawning?

yeah he stirred up a bit of stuff... went out with a real bang...

what's weird is that it didn't seem like him... as you can see here he was a normal, helpful, PEACEFUL member then, all the sudden he turned against us and said some stuff that was pretty offensive. something must have happened to him to make him so angry all the sudden. oh well. his problem.

I believe the moderators will warn you before you are banned, so if you continue to do whatever it is they have asked you not to, you will be banned. I assume it is for life.

Sometimes the Net can be very frustrating for people, and they tend to get ruder than they would in person.

not sure about the banned for life aspect of it.i won't lie i doubt i would remember a year from now.so i would say no not banned for life.unless you make enough folks angry and your ip address gets banned,then you can't register at all from that ip address.

CFM is spot on
and yes we do give warnings, and it is up to our discretion but when you are flagrantly disregarding the rules over and over as demonstrated here by this person there really is no hope in hell they'll change so banishment is the only good thing for the community.

As an aside we appreciate the members assistance whom used the Report this Post to Moderator feature. if it wasn't for you guys we can't be here 24h/7days :)
