Brought home my first Cichlid!!

I brought home my first Cichlid today! I picked the convict because all the other Cichlids where picking on him! He's only like a half inch long but he's my little convict! The first thing he did in his new home was trying to eat the algea eater thats twice as long as him! So...I wouldnt be surprized if I lost my algea eater in the next few days!! Ill post picks if I can!!

I guess you don't have strong feeling for your algy eater.

Not really Its one dumb thing! It seems to think that the inside of the filter is better then the rest of the tank!

Congrats on your new addition. I love my convict. He has the best personality. He would much rather watch what is going on outside the tank than pay any attention to his tank mates. It's quite entertaining.

Yes I do plan on getting him/her (can't tell yet) a friend when the tank has adjusted to having a fish in it! Here a few pictures of the convict! Its really had to get pics when there is so many people in and out of the house! He hasnt really got used to the new surroundings yet so I hope to get better pics tomorrow! Although the pics make him look large he really is only about an inch long!

Ok the algea eater is out! No harm done! My little convict is still warming up to home! Hasn't eaten when I'm around either I always have to feed her (think its female) then leave and watch from a distance! So funny the little personalitys they get! So much more entertaining then barbs! They like to fight all day!
