So as some of you know I got my 4 flier cichlids about 2 weeks ago and they are settled in very nicely. They are eating from the top avidly and are really becoming bullies to thier tank mates. Thier appetites are fine and they have even lept out of the water to bite my hand for food! These fish have a TON of personality already and I can't wait until they grow up.
Anyway the problem is one of the fish just hangs near the heater all day picking at it and what not. She's definatly not bullied as she attacks anyone who gets too close even the slightly larger suspected male in the tank. They have actually done some tail slapping and alot of flaring toward eachother. She defends the spot from anyone but all she does is just sit there. She still eats just like everyone else. Should I be worried?
PS: I know I refer to her as a "she" but I honestly have no idea about the genders yet, they are still only 1.5-2in long. I am also expecting a shipment of nics soon and I want everyhing perfect before they come.
