Hi,
In the end I couldn't resist buying the Congochromis sp. "Green Speckle". Some of the fish in the shop looked a bit weaker but I picked four that were looking healthy.
Now that they are home and acclimatized, I'm a bit worried about their behavior. The keep their fins clamped and move very frantically (maybe spastically is a better word), sometimes wiggling their bodies. It's almost as if there is a lot of current in the aquarium (which there isn't), they weren't doing this in the shop. When I fed them they all ate vigorously.
This is not the clearest of explanations maybe, but I was hoping someone may have experience with this behavior.
Thanks!
