You will need some high quality flake food, like Omega One veggie flakes, to round out the diet. They do need vegetable matter in their diet as well as the live and frozen protein. These fish prefer soft, acidic water and do much better in it, though they can be kept in harder more alkaline water. They are a peaceful species so don't put them in with aggressive cichlids. They will do much better in the community tank, depending upon what you have in there. Congratulations! They are one of my all time favorite fish, though I have not kept them recently due to my hard, alkaline water. One day I will set up a small tank for them and use peat and driftwood to soften the water.
