I have a 55G with a community of youngsters ... mostly some of the more peaceful cichlids. I have four small green and gold severums, one uaru, three electric blue acaras, three german rams, three albino threadfin geos, and a geo surinamensis, plus a couple corys and a pleco. I know the tank will be too small once the severums, the geos, and the uaru get a bit bigger, but it's fine for now. Or at least it was.
Everyone in the tank has been jumpy for the last few days. The pleco was splotchy and a couple of the sevs spent a lot of time huddled behind a rock. Water parameters were fine, but I did a big water change anyway. I also noticed that two of my acaras has a brownish grey bands on the tops of their heads, and were getting pretty agressive, terrorising the sevs which are much bigger. I wondered if they were spawning, but they're still pretty young and small, maybe 2.5 - 3". Well, now I know.
