Cichla melanaie in the house. They are so tiny but they are voracious little savages. I set up a 20 long under one of my 75s to grow them out by themselves w/ just some corys. Originally I was going to raise them w/ my 2 little monos, but monos are too big and would inhale them quicky. I was worried because they were so small but I acclimated them a lil extra and left the light off for a few hours while I finished my weekly water changes. I turned on the light and they ravages bloodworms, frozen brine with and without spirulina. I even saw one of the Xingus take Spectrum Growth Flake. I'm hoping a varied diet will keep them growing ni,,ce and healthy. Took some pics w my new canon elph, which is proving itself to be kickass for fishroom photos, and I will post them soon.
