I bought 5 small juvenile firemouths about 5 or 6 six weeks ago, planning to let a pair form and then give the rest away. I'm not sure who the pair is exactly, but I think I have 4 males and 1 female.
For a while they all seemed to chase each other around equally, but over the last few days there is one guy who always seems to get the short end of the stick, so I think it's time to get rid of some of my extra males.
They are about 2-2.5" long and so far my tank hasn't had any health issues aside from some algae. The tank they are in has 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, around 10ppm nitrate. I feed them a mix of Hikari cichlid staple pellets and frozen bloodworms. I've tried a couple different kinds of flakes and they don't like them.
I'll take some recent pics as soon as I can. I live in 77008 and am available in the evenings and on the weekends.
Thanks!
