Hey guys. Before I start, I understand that the tank is too small for these fish but once they grow a little I will be taking them home to my 47.5 gal. My boss upgraded his 4 gal desk top tank and gave it to me. everything has been established for years so I know it isn't the cycle. my boss had two 4 inch mbunas in theer before me I put in three very small (under and inch) cichlids. one is a kenyi, one is an albino mbuna of some kind and one was a very small one that I could not identify. The smallest one was never allowed (by the two others) to move around the tank. he always sat at the top corner and eventually died about 2 weeks later(not sure why...just found it sucked to the filter. Since the little one died, I re-did all the decorations and rocks. Now, the kenyI is being forced to stay at the top of the tank under the HOB filter. any time he/she leaves the top to roam, the albino takes off after him/her until he/she returns to the top spot. Is it just because the albino (who is a little bigger by the way) now sees the whole tank as it's territory? any advice? I feed flake food so it isn't a problem for either of them to get to the food. both seem very healthy. I just don't want my kenyI to die off like the other little guy.
Any advice is appreciated.
