Got my first Cichlids **Updated with Pic**
I finished cycling a 20gal and decided to go with cichlids. Since i have never had any and they seem like great fish. I picked up a male/female pair of convicts. I know they breed like rats, thats kind of the reason i got them. And i heard they are very hearty fish, and i want my first pair of cichlids to be easy. No pics right now, dont have the digi cam. But they are a little over an inch big, so still babies. They are in a 20 gal tank with a little(for now) java moss. They already are showing great personality. They come to the glass when i enter the room, and i was very close to getting the male to take some bloodworms from my fingers. He backed off about 2 inches from the food. They have taken to each other very well already. They rarely are more than an inch or two from each other. I am buying a 55gal this week after payday for their future home. Cant wait till they grow a bit.
