Who Gives A Fish Forums

The Egyptkento4 Mouth Brooders I saw were being kept in a temporary setup with some Congo tetras, and let's just say it wasn't exactly a harmonious coexistence.

Had a browse around my LFS last night, stumbled upon an unlabelled species that caught my eye - absolutely stunning. Initially thought it was a dwarf cichlid I'd never seen before, given the colours and shape. Asked the staff about it and they told me it was an Egyptkento4 Mouth Brooder. Luckily, I ...

Didn't even think about that. Gonna stick to Anubias and Hornwort for now. Appreciate the help, everyone.

If I'm being honest, it seems like you might not be ...

I'd suggest giving it some time, the decomposition process will eventually make it possible to flush out the remains. Consider placing the ornament outside in direct sunlight, this should speed up the process.


That's the ticket. Whatever method you choose, just get that ornament and the, ah ...
