Ok, firstly I'd like to say that I'm not sure how to actually spell Chiclid! :? Hope my interpritations close-ish.
I went and did something perhaps a little drastic/spontanious on saturday and bought a dwarf chiclid (non-aggressive i was assured) for my 20g tank. He/she looked sooooo cool and the store guy said it would be fine in my tank so i went for it...
My stock list at the moment is...
= 7 neon tetras (they look super cool!)
= 1 giant/ leopard danio. Looks like a trout...but he/she doesn't look like any of the other danios in the store... :? definetly a danio though...
= 1 cory catfish
= 2 brislenose plecos...though plan on reducing that to one now.
= 1 dwarf chiclid.
The dwarf chiclid is REALLY shy. I have a rocks in the tank, and a rock cave so I though that would make him happy...but he's hanging around the back of the tank...not ever swimming in clear water spaces.
Any ideas?
My tank is well planted but he's not up-rooting anything...and i don't think he will.
My tank still seems empty...with the neons really being the only notacible additions. The plecos, cat fish, danio and chiclid all hide for most of the time.
Maybe i need another small school? But is there space!?
There seems to be HEAPS of space in the tank, so I don't understand why I'm being told that I'm nearing a full tank. With calculations I figured I had room for another small school...
anyways...It'd be SUPER if you could help me out a little on this one guys.
Cheers.
