Large Aequidens and Brochis Splendens - L-Welse.com Forum

Thank you Karsten!

I'm kinda fond of this big fellow (and his little female, it's a pair), although he's quite a bully.. My pair of Uaru's keep him in his spot most of the time.
I don't like to dispose fish that I have bought for no reason..but if he would start eating his companions they will have to go.

So the advise given is the key to if they can stay (which I hope) or have to go....

Hi,

i´m a bit late. Large cichlids (and your Aequidens are big ones) can always try to eat smaller fishes, they are still predators. But i go with Karsten, based on their experience (and i guess corydoras and brochis can do harm to other fishes, they are well protected) they will change behaviour for the next time ;-)

Btw, i love your tank setup! It has a lot of atmosphere and the light in front of the tank together with the dark background gives an effect of great depth.
With that setting there is no need for more background work :-)
Did you use led-spots for lighting?

Hi Ben! Thank you for your comment on my question. I will see how it goes the next few weeks. Until now the Aequidens hasn't tried to eat any other fish

I would think Brochis are not a fish to be eaten because of the spines on the dorsal en pectorial fins and the lesson has been learned by the Aequidens. I like him a lot so I hope I can keep the pair of Aequidens in the tank.

The lighting in my tank is from 4 little strips of LED's yes ;-)
Thank you for your compliments.
