While at the auction yesterday, I spotted a bag of three young jewel cichlids with no bids, so I snatched them up for $1...upon getting hime, I figured that the best place for them (at least for now) is in one of my tanks that houses some smaller bichirs (some senegals and a couple of smaller palmas polli), a couple of cats, and a young green terror (sole survivor of a bag of several 1" GTs that were put in as feeders (another $1 buy). Now I reslised that these jewels were a bit smaller than I had thought, and that they might be at risk from the bichirs, so I ;prayed for the best and put them in....to my surprise, not only have the bichirs completely left them alone, but the jewels are schooling with the lone green terror in what must be some sort of survival behaviour, and the GT seems quite happy for the company...go figure.
