Goldfish Keepers new 2017 in tank don't like this behavior... Impulse(the largest Oranda) will swim to the top, gulp air, swim down and then release the air..and then repeat.. I don't like how he's swimming... I don't like how floaty and flippy he is. He's the only one doing it and he just started today. But if I go near the tank, he corrects himself and swims perfectly with no issues. He's not bloated either

Even these semi agressive fish need plenty of rock work and caves to hide in and claim as territory. Always plan a few extra hideouts so they can change around occasionally. I use landscaping sandstone to fashion caves and such. Terra cotta pots are also good for caves. Just lay them on their side or knock out a chunk of the edge and turn them upside down. Be sure the hole is big enough for the fish to get in and out of easily.

A 45 high would probably only house about 4 yellows OR 4 socolofi.

There is a way to overcrowd a tank and keep the agression level manageable even though you have multiple males. With a lot of fish in a tank, the agression is spread around and one fish is not the target of unrelenting attacks.

I have had as many as 25 cichlids in a 55 gallon tank at one time without fatalities or serious damage. Some fry (babies) of the breeding pairs even survived by hiding in the rocks.

BTW, you should add all of the fish to the tank at the same time. If you put a group in the tank and then try to add fish later you will not have good luck. The fish already in the tank will have their territories staked out and the new fish will not have any place to go but up in a corner to die. If you absolutely have to add fish later, you must completely rearrange the rocks and caves so everything is brand new and add the fish as soon as you are done and then turn the lights out for the night. Everyone will be scrambling to find new hideouts and the new ones will be able to fit in with the old ones. A super dominant male may still give you problems.

26 years of keeping and spawning many different species of tropical fish and cichlids. 25 tanks up and running at present (partial water changes done every week to 10 days). Mostly cichlids and scavengers right now with 5 tanks devoted to various freshwater crustaceans. I have worked in both the retail and wholesale tropical fish business.

The Greatest Enemy of Truth is not the deliberate lie; Rather it is all those things we know to be true...that are not.
