The only fish in the tank are the juvenile cichlids I bought a week ago. Mix of 5 and they are smaller than 2 inches. Still don’t know if they are male/female. The price sign said “pseudotropeus and/or melanochromis”. I don’t understand why my new juvenile cichlids are all very active yet all they do is glass surf by the heater. Sometimes it’s a cool looking choreographed dance (doesn’t seem stressful).. They swim by the heater 80% of the day and only nibble at food but mostly ignore it. I’ve done flakes, algae crumbles and even tried peas. My question is;
1. Why are they spending so much time next to the heater even though they are super active and temp is at 78-80?
2. Is it normal for af juvenile cichlids to ignore food at first? It’s been about 5 days since I brought them home.
3. Any good website/book/reference I can use to identify and sex my African cichlids?
