Will Yellow Labs eat my fish?

[Smalltank3]

Hey I was just wondering if an electric yellow cichlid would eat 2 inch bloodfin tetras and 3 inch platies if I bought the yellow lab at 2 inches.

Probably. They are cichlids and should only be put with Cichlids.

 

[kane]

yeah they will!
and they are not supposed to have alot of protein in there diet.
spirulina,algae,and some pellets are good.

They may not eat them...but definitely bully them to death. You shouldn't put most cichlids with community fish usually.

No they will not eat them. They may well bother them with their very high activity levels, and the teras will not enjoy the high pH the labs require

I concur with wayne and froggy. No they shouldn't eat them, and probably won't but they are prone to bully the community fish to death.
