Same here! I've got a sponge filter, so the flow's mild. They're always out front when I drop food in.

Re: Ideal temperature for CPDs
I keep mine at 75F, and they're breeding like crazy. Tank's got floating plants and dim lighting. They're not picky, but consistency's key. You got any tankmates with 'em?

I think if he's not being harassed, he'll likely warm up to his surroundings eventually.

Re: My skittish cichlid
I've had a similar issue with my parrot cichlid - he was really shy at first too. Now he's getting a bit bolder, but still hides from me whenever I'm around. I've noticed that if I switch off the tank lights, he becomes more active and swims around freely.
