ok so i got my tank for my cichlid and now....?
a few months ago i got my first african cichlid (im not sure what type exactly) just as a recap this is the same cichlid that as a baby was happily swimming among platies ( until i finally got him moved into the new tank). anyway for awhile he wouldnt go to the surface to eat and he was starting to look a little sick, so i bought him some sinking food for cichlids and now hes doing better. but is there anything else i could do to make him more comfortable??, he hasnt been the same since i moved him into the new tank .

He is probably lonely, many types of african cichlids are very social with its own kind and since it was raised with platys it will be more comfortable with other fish with the same temperment and size and preferrably species. THE FLUFFINATOR
