Has anyone ever had a pet Cichlid before? I've had one for almost 4 years now, the longest I've ever managed to keep a fish alive. And this fish seems almost incapable of dying! I've gone almost an entire week before without feeding the poor thing and my son once tried to "pet" the fish and the fish ended up flopping out of his hands and was lost behind a paint can on the floor for at least an hour. When I finally found it, it was covered in dust and not moving and I thought for sure it was dead but I threw it back in its tank and it instantly started swimming around again! I couldn't believe it! Do I just have the world's most hardy fish or does anyone else have a similarly tough pet cichlid?
