       Do you find as your fish enter teenage land they get more
       aggressive? I lost a chichlid last night.There was no warning,
       they were all fine in the am and when we fed them before bed he
       was on his side beat to hell. No prior weakness or illness that
       we noticed. I do have a mix of haps,peacocks and mbuna but they
       were raised together and size appropriate. I know its probably
       par for the course with these guys but its still sad to see...

       I started up my tank last Labor day and have 16 mbuna in a 55
       gallon that were all small when I got them. All winter I kept
       the tank at 76 degrees. About 2 weeks ago I decided to raise the
       temperature to about 80 for the Spring and Summer and maybe get
       some breeding. After about a week the fighting started and I
       could hear the collisions 10 feet away. The tank is back to 75
       degrees and is much less crazy. I haven't lost a fish, I think I
       want peace more then babies.
