isde02 this is what we were talking about.

My prego wife and son.

Me

Either slinks to the upper corners of the tank or towards the rocks when im infront of the tank and wont eat unless i back away from the tank.

It's cause you've battled with him for a year straight using a plastic feeding tube lol

I swapped the sand in his tank today... sucker bit me was the first time hes done that

I'm going through a stock renewal currently. Yesterday I sold my 6 Geo. Winemilleri as part of the process of making room for some Rivulatus. Anyhow, my Chocolate Cichlid got a little scuffed up in the ordeal (I have a heavily decorated tank so netting fish is challenge - I use a divider to help with the process). He was one of the fish I was not trying to net but he kept swimming to the short end of the tank, so I'd insert the divider and attempt to net the Geos - twice he/she smashed past the divider and has the missing scales to show for it.

Anyhow, fast forward 2 hours and every other fish is back to normal feeding and he/she is just lurking in the back glaring at me. I can tell from his colour he's not stressed - he's just grumpy.

I'll try hand feeding some frozen food tonight and see if he forgives me. I've been hand feeding hi since he was 2". Never been bit - I wonder if tonight will be a first?
