yea, thats why im gonna get the 2nd....my aquarium is under a window and even blocked off, the algae is bad. i figure I can always move one out of the tank when they grow since I have 2 'fish' tanks. (also have a turtle tank and a small goldfish tank)

my only advice is to not put them in with anything you don't want to get eaten.

I just spoke w/ the guy at another fish store, and they agreed that those cichlids are better in numbers....they said either do bare minimum, or overstock it to avoid super-aggressive behavior.

got the other placo too

They don't necessarily have to be other cichlids.
