55gallover Fingerling Posts: 19 Kudos: 22 Votes: 1 Registered: 05-Jan-2005	Hi all. first-time poster, long-time reader here. I have 1 3 inch JD that is 3 inches and two Texas Cichlids that are the same. Sometimes it gets rough in the tank. I was wondering about some dither fish. Any suggestions.

I think the problem would only be temporarily solved by target fish. A 50 high does not have enough space for the Jack and the Texans to each have a territory that they consider large enough. If it's a rough neighborhood now it's only going to get rougher as they grow. Can you get a bigger tank? Or another tank for the Jack? If you can swing it later some targets now would help. Good luck, Mike

I was kinda praying somebody would be able to come up with something other than I was expecting. I'd love a bigger tank. Know anybody that'd give me a 125 or 150 with a stand for cheap cash
