so i think im gonna flamed for this but im gonna ask anyways.

i have a peacock cichlid in a 20 long. he is full grown and ive had him for about 6 months now. if you want the story on why i have him ill tell you but i dont think its important.

ive noticed that he has become very reclusive over the last month or so. im guessing it because he has no cichlid buddies in there to chase around. i was wondering if adding some schooling fish would be a good idea. i was thinking some kind of barb or bigger tetra. if he started harrassing them i would remove them. i just want something that might encourage him to not be so shy. i feel like he is miserable in there now. i want to add any more cichlids because im either going to REALLY over stock the tank cause serious fighting. feedback?

here is picture of "stumps"
