This is Fidel.
I have had him for about 4 months. He is my one and only "wet pet".
I currently have him in a 30 gallon GOT, with an Emperor 400 and a Penguin 200. I like to overfilter as much as possible. I do a 20% water change twice a week.
I have a marineland heater that works really great. I use a power glo bulb for lighting.
He is fed a mixture of 1/3 Hikari bio gold+, 1/3 Dainichi color supreme, 1/3 Hikari cichlid excel a coupel times a day and tetra jumbo krill every couple days.
He is pretty tame, comes to the glass whenever my wife or I are in the room. I am currently training him to coem to my hand. In the next year I will be moving him to a 125 gallon with a couple birchirs or another cichlid. Havent decided yet.
Let me know what you think.



Its hard to get a good picture of him. He has alot more blue and purple colors, as well as a very vibrant red on his fin that the flash just washes out.
