Bought three cichla over the weekend for $20 for the trio, they are extremely spooked by any people presence when i got home. Had to bust out the old sony digital camera with 10x optical zoom to take this pic from far away. Can yall help me identify what kind of cichla he is or is he still too young? Theres one more that has a straight line going across his body but i cant get a pic of him yet he might be different. How do i make them come out from hiding more? Theyre barely eating bloodworms. Will they get hungry enough to eat freezdried krill?


 
just get them eating on anything for now, but to me they look like mono's. Still to small to tell.
 
He looks cute.. have you tried feeding with the tank lights off, sometimes helps.
 
dont worry about what they are.. they look like they are in need of food.. live black worms and guppies
