Hey guys,
I'm probably okay but I just want to make sure. My 75g finally cycled and I've had 5 tiger barbs for 3 days, and three cichlids (Blue Acara, Firemouth, Gold Severum) for two days now. I decided to finally feed the cichlids, adding some of the frozen cichlid delight into the tank. The tiger barbs went insane compared to giving them tropical flakes, a fun sight to see, but the cichlids, who are just now getting comfortable moving around the tank, all hide for their life as soon as the food was added. They weren't scared when I came into the room either, only after adding food. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Dave
