Looking for some help if anyone here is familiar with pseudotropheus damasoni. I have two of them in my 60 gallon tank. Came from the same LFS, but not sure what sex they are. When I introduced them into the tank one was pretty aggressive toward the other which I've learned is normal for these fish, especially toward each other. However over the last week or so they've both taken up small areas in the tank under rock ledges that I constructed and they never come out to eat. In fact I haven't seen them actually eat in over a week. I know they're mouth brooders, but while I have no proof I kind of thought they might both be males because they're both pretty amazing looking fish. Either way, they're both hiding and rarely come out. Anybody experience this and at what point do I start to get concerned that they're not eating?
Other fish in the tank are
One OB peacock
two red fin Borleyi
two german red peacocks
one taiwan reef
two synodointis cats
few small labs and socolofi (< 1 inch in length)
60 gallons
pH is 8.2
temp is 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
No ammonia,
.5 ppm nitrite (working on this)
0 ppm nitrate
