Who Gives A Fish Forums

Generally, my experience with introducing new fish is they start eating within 24 hours. However, if the Firemouth came from a tank with significantly different water parameters, that could be causing stress and slowing down the adjustment process. If you have larger cichlids in the tank, it's ...
