New To Cichlids. . . (like Some Other Folks Here)

[sukie]

I'm such a retarded person when it comes to buying fish. . . .

There was this local auction here in SLC, UT and many ppl bought their fishies for auction (good selection of cichlids) Anyho. . . I got plenty of tanks and nothing in them. . .so I thought this would be a good opportunity to start. . .

We went around and I marked down which ones I thought were pretty and bidded on them. . .

A couple of Azureus
(6) Electric Yellows
(9) Demasoni
Later. . . I have a cichlid explosion. . .

Plus I had a friend on a forum give me (3) Red empress earlier that week.

Such a newbie mistake. . .with all the fishies. . . . .

So they're all in temp tanks now. . .

My plan is to get them bigger and hopefully get good value for them as I'm not insane enough to keep all these fishies!! (but I am crzy enough to buy them - haha)

Any word of advice w/ these guys?? Like what brand of foods are good? etc. . .

Greatly appreciative. . .
