New To The Chiclid World

[MrMagoo]

I am testing to see if I can handle Chiclids. I plan on a 55 or 75 gallon tank in 6 months or so. Right now I have 3 tiny Chiclids and one Dinosaur eel. The Dino eel is very small too so no worries on it eating them. The dino eel is supost to be awake at night but oh no he loves the day. So when I feel the Chiclids he wants food too. So he got one of the little pellets in his mouth and let go. My yellow Chiclid grabed it and the Dinosaur eel bit him for 5 seconds or so and wouldn't let go. He is scared stiff but nothing else is out of the ordinary. I have Lace rock for hidding also. What can I do or is nothing wrong?

The sad thing and the most stupid thing I did was not know what kind. I bought it from PETCO and I have a blue, yellow, and orange one. Bichir yes thats what it is.

Hi,

I don't know much about cichlids myself as i only keep rams and chequer boards, have a look in the profiles in the cichlid section and you should be able to get an id or post pics if you can.
