my mom got me 2 parrot cichlids yesterday and i'd like to know more about them. they are babies, i put them in my 29g for now, i have a 50g i will move them into in a few months or when it seems like they need to, for now they don't seem too big for it. each is about 2 1/2" long. they are hiding though and they won't really come out one has come out quickly a few times and gone right back to hiding. they did not eat when i fed them either but they don't look thin, and their colouring is bright. are these shy fish? is it normal for them to hide so much? or how long does it take for them to get used to their surroundings? the tank is planted with live plants, it has sand in it and has alot of hiding places available. they were alone in there. i added 3 guppies tonight to try and lure them out, no such luck as of yet.
