In addition to its strong aggressiveness, another reason for the fight between the cichlids in the three lakes is that the environment makes them feel uncomfortable, especially when the water quality is not good. Therefore, we must ensure that the water quality is clean and hygienic. In addition to the fish tank to have enough space, but also to provide a good filtration system, at the same time need to add baking soda to adjust the hardness of the water.
Sanhu cichlids have a certain sense of territory, if they can have their own territory, it can also reduce conflicts and fights. Landscaping in a fish tank can achieve this effect by first covering the bottom with sand, which the fish like to dig for hiding, and adding a little water head or water grass to provide a hidden place in order to reduce their conflict.
For the cichlids in Sanhu, although the single body is very aggressive, after becoming a group, the territorial consciousness will be weakened, and many parties will usually give up fighting because they are evenly matched, which is also a good way to avoid fighting. However, it should be noted that the breeding density can not be increased blindly, if the space is too narrow, it will also affect their mood, which is not conducive to their growth.
Different fish have different personalities, some will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but some are thorns, attacking other fish everywhere, for this tank bully must be isolated. In order to make it honest, you can cut its tail, which can also limit its activities and reduce its aggression.
