I hope I don't get yelled at too much.
Anyway, I bought a African butterfly cichlid (Anomalachromis thomasi)yesterday for my 10 gallon community.
Set-up looks like this:
AC 20
50 W heater
java fern and java moss
1.5 flourescent
2 platies (female)
4 black neon tetras
1 butterfly cichlid
It was really shy yesterday. I spent about 1 hour acclimating it because I think they are sensitive fish. It hasn't touched any food (flakes or bloodworms) and keeps to itself.
What do you think of the situation? Should I get some cichlid food (pellets)? Should I exchange it (I don't really want to)?
Thanks again for any help or advice.
