after sharing info about texas cichlids from the forum with my fish obsessed tropical cichlid collector buddy for quite awhile, he went on a fish buying trip and came back with a pair of juvenile texas cichlids for each of us. now we share a common species, but mine are in a 10 gallon tank, guess i will soon be buying a large tank . free gifts can be expensive.

It's "never sniff a gift fish" I think.

they're constantly hiding , not sure if they,re eating,think i may go over to bait shop and get a few minnows for company, don't trust them with my natives, not even sure what exact species they are, apparently several related species are sold as blue texas cichlids all ferocious
