Question
Hi, i just bought two irridesant sharks to go with my convicts and red joul cychlids in a 37 gallond tank, i thought that they would go good together the only problem is that one of them has really taken a beating and im noit sure what to do anymore. Please help!

Answer
Hi Michael,
  Convicts and jewel cichlids can be very tough on fish like irridescent sharks.  The best thing you can do is to make sure that there is a lot of structure in the tank, e.g., wood, plants, rock, etc to break up the space and keep the convicts and jewels from chasing the other fish.
