Hello. Thanks for reading my post. Ill try an make it short. I recently took ownership of a 55gl fish tank with all the fixings of a friends x boyfriends. She didn't know much about it and neither do I, she gave away most of the fish except one.. or two come to find out.. I got it all moved and re-setup, finally figure out the wet/dry trickle system.. After doing much much reading, I put what i think is either a firemouth cichlid or convict fish and a really really small baby fish back in the tank.. They seem to be doing well, although there not eating yet that i can see after 2 days. I assume its because there just stressed from the move.. So my questions is, after a week or so I would like to buy more fish, what fish would you think would be compatible with this one.. Here is a pic of the fish!

P.s. I'm really starting to enjoy the fish world!

I had fish like that before! They come from lake Malawi and need pH ,slightly higher than the normal tropical fish,about 8.0/8.5. I'm not sure about the name though, will check. What is the baby fish have you got? You'll have to get fish that require the same Ph.
I dont think its a very good sign if the fish dont eat.....however i'm no expert, i'm just saying from what experiance i had when keeping them. You dont want to get too many though, they are very territorial!!

thanks for the info... The baby is way to small to tell, but from the looks of it, its a smaller version of the other one with a hint of orange.. Not sure if the big one is a african or south american cichlid, but thinks its a convict.
