African Cichlid dieing one day at a time.

A fish list will certainly help.

Do you quarantine the new fish before you introduce them into the 180?

Btw a parrot is not African, I would take it out , put a list of the fish you have , Malawi and mbunas dont play nice to each other is good to have a lot of them for spread aggression and ratio would play a fact here.

SteeveCGG brings up a good point. Its always a good idea to quarantine new fish if you have room... particularly if you are putting them in a big tank.

Malawi and mbunas dont play nice to each other is good to have a lot of them for spread aggression and ratio would play a fact here.

This a a confusing statment since mbuna area type of malawi.

your tank looks good, but is a lil crowded. variety might be the issue too. I would start by moving that parrot.

Thanks guys for all the comments. I just pulled out the male and female parrots. I am going to take them to LFS.

Also no fish dead this morning and just did a 50 % water change since I have to go offshore on Wednesday.

I also have a yellow lab that I think is holding and put here in my 10 gallon tank. She hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks and mouth looks to be getting bigger.

Ok wow thats quite the mix. Id personally get rid of a few things and go strictly Malawi. Things id consider finding new home, convicts, jack dempsey, parrot, danios. Then ud have a straight lake tank. Now do keep a keen eye on those Johanni as their even wose than the parrot can be. Most likely ur case its at night possibly due to territorial fights and not every fish has a place. Pics of tank would greatly help. Ur cleaning and wc seema all good and filter cleaning normal. But also watch the tank for a few after you shut off the lights. See what happens and if ones more aggressive.

Another day and no dead fish. The yellow lab had about 20 babies. Now I have a johnanni holding. The next fish to take out will be the convicts and bumblebee cichlid. Then possibly the Johanni and Auratus will be next to go.

So which fish on my list are Malawi and can stay together. I want to keep my Haps.
