Well I dont see ANYTHING cichlid threads within the forum. This isnt really a specific thread. I dont have any specific questions. I just want a open discussion for anyone to hijack or insert their experiences.
My oscar seems real shy. Whenever I introduce him into a new tank(or after a large water change) he always hides. I dont even know if he is a he or she. I never felt the need to check or read how. I probably should. Another thing I read was that they lay on thier side when they are hungry. It lays on its side and mimicks death trying to get smaller fish to approach it looking for an easy meal, in which case it promptly swallows its prey. Anyone else notice this?
