(sadly the other pictus cat who came along with him died to). back to the buttikoferi, we recently bought 6 african cichlids to live with him. he tries to eat them, but there to quick and we built small caves for them. there growing quickly. the only other thing in there is a pleco. will this be okay? i know you said not any fish weaker then it, but that is hard to find. even if some american cichlids are stronger (red devils, flowerhorns, ect.) they fight often. the only thing i could find that would get along with them are african cichlids. i think the 6 are kenyi. an up to date thing is that the buttikoferi now lives in a 55 gallon after he attacked the oscar. there was a poisoning in the 110 gallon while all the fish still got along and the dominant silver dollar died along with the rosy barb and the pictus cats. the oscar lives with another oscar, 4 of the original silver dollars and 2 new ones, a pleco, and 1 new pictus cat.

All in a 110 gallon. A quarter of the tank is hiding places, the other 3 quarters is open water. There was 2 rosy barbs but the buttikoferi nipped at her fins, we put her in a 10 gallon to recover with 2 bloodfin tetras and a black ghost knife. The knife nipped her to though, so we put her in a bucket to die peacfully. Will he get along with the others? The surviving male rosy stared down the buttikoferi. Also, the silver dollars adopted the buttikoferi, but the dominant silver dollar just hangs out with the pictus cats during the day while they are sleeping, and joins the school at night when the cats are active. The buttikoferi follows the oscar alot to sometimes. What is up? Thanks! =P I have a baby buttikoferi with a baby oscar, 5 baby silver dollars, 1 baby rosy barb, and 2 half grown pictus cats.
