Certainly being attacked by one or all the other cichlids. For an
honest answer, I'd strongly recommend a bigger tank. You need a 30
long minimum for 5 africans.

I have just gotten a new tank( its only 10 gallons) to house the
stressed out fish. I live in an apartment with wood floors(2nd floor),
so I cant use anymore than this. I now have 4 fish in the upper tank,
and 2 fish in the lower tank. I also have gotten a bunch of new plants
and a flowerpot as well. I hope this will work out. Thanks for the
help guys.

.... That ought to do it. I too, live in a second floor apt, with wood
floors holding two 55 gallon longs. I hope your not telling me they'll
end up on my neighbors floor someday eh?..lol. I have had them set up
here for 4 mos. now as I moved in at that time.

Very unlikely... the wooden joists beneath the floorboards can support far
more load than most aqaurium cabinets.
