Saved my Dragonblood African Cichlid from Certain Death!

My Dragonbood’s quarantine time was up. It was his turn to join the big boys in the 150 gallon. As soon as he was put in things immediately got ugly. Fortunately I make it a habit to stick around and keep an eye on things whenever I add fish or make any major changes to a tank. I’m glad I did because if I hadn’t I’d have one dead Dragonblood. Here’s the story of what happened. Have you had a similar experience? What happened in your circumstance? How did it turn out? Share your thoughts below. Please be sure to hit that bell and join the “Convo Gang.“ Remember, we all learn from each other. Please rate, share, sub and stop on by most Saturday mornings at 10am (Pacific) for the Cichlids and Coffee Live Stream. Fun topics, shout-outs and live interaction with my favorite fish keepers ... YOU! Join a helpful “troll-free“ group of fish keepers at the Ben O’Cichlid Facebook group page.
