Also, another fun trick to do with your cichlids is to hang an old audio CD in the tank on a fishing line, or put a mirror in the tank, the fish go check it out, see a fish and they puff up trying to show off, of course the fish in the mirror does the same thing, and man oh man they sometimes attack that "other fish"..........great head games I used to play with my Oscars and Jack Demsey.

For your plecostomus (sp?) feed them some cucumber or zuchini slices by putting the slice on a teryaki stick or long tooth pick, a nylon zip tie will also work, secure the slice and mounting device under a rock or stone and this a a great way to feed or supplement your algae eating fish feeding......try it and post your results, you'll love these tips!
