1ST your in the wrong section to say screw cichlids,they have carried this hobby for years,and make the best "wet pets",2nd the JD is not the biggest in my tank.

I don't even like cichlids but I 100% agree with you, they're right there with the common goldfish for being the backbone of the aquarium industry.

Yeah I think it can happen, but how can u tell if they can c their reflection or not? My rtc and tsn do this sometimes, an I always thought they were seein themselves or tryin to escape!

This is a cichlid....dude.

DC....I guarantee at some point your fish is slowing down and sleeping. Some point when you aren't watching. I believe that they are never really sound asleep. Their brain...i believe...much like birds...remain active when sleeping.
