Question
can you tell me the top 5 docilest chilhids. because im try to find  tank mates 4 my spot finned spinny eel and can i feed my 8 inch tiger oscar shrimp

Answer
Hi Trey

Kribensis Cichlid, Keyhole Cichlid, Festive Cichlid, Blood Parrot Cichlid and Severum Cichlid are the most mild mannered of Cichlids that should all be fine with your eel if he is big enough.

Oscars will accept a variety of foods such as Cichlid Pellets, TetraCichlid Flakes, frozen foods and krill. Hikari Cichlid Gold will bring out their colors but shouldn't be a primary diet. Shrimp and Bloodworms should only be offered occasionally as a treat, not a primary source of food.

Good luck!
