Need a bit of advice when I bought my 50 gal tank not long ago there was 1 pleco 1 silver dollar a 8 in leporinus and 4 cichlids in it I decieded to rehome the leporinus and finally found a home for him 2 weeks ago well the guy phoned me tonight and seems he hasnt eaten in a couple of weeks and all he does is hide away behind a rock. I went back and picked him up he looks a bit beat up and skinner too. I didnt really have anywhere else to put him but the cichlid tank. Now hes swimming around grabed a cave and he ate 2 slices of zucchini but now what.Do you think he missed the cichlids Iam completly stumped. :screwy:Thanks Pat:screwy:
 
He only had silver dollars do you think it would be ok to leave it in with the ciclids maybe he thinks he is one.
 
heres a pic sorry its blury took it in a hurry.

Keep an eye on him. Leporinus are known for being tough, especially with cichlids.
Will do but he did grow up with them he over 2 years old . Pat:)
