    Any cichlid will decimate critters that will fit into their mouths :lol:

    Im sure they're loving the live food selection there

    Yeah this makes perfect sense, I don’t know why I thought they weren’t predatory/ proper cichlids. I’ve never kept them before in my African setups so I guess you live and learn.

    they have also excavated the bank at the back of the tank and created a pretty impressive cave under one of the retaining rocks.. Guess we will have fry soon.

    I’m not winning with this SOBO canister though. They sent back the original one after the replacement one started leaking, the original one (now running after an impeller replacement) is now leaking.

    I hate this thing.
