What am I?

They were in the tank with diseased mosquito fish, so I thought I'd bring them home too and try to save them since I'd be medicating anyways.

They look like cichlids to me. Convicts? Knowing what parameters to provide would be nice.

I can't see the photo very well, but if it came out of a feeder tank, I would guess that they're juvenile Lepomis. A couple of Tilapia type cichlids also show up from time to time.

That's not good. :/

My guess was baby sunfish (Lepomis) of some sort. Looks kind of like a peacock, though, too. Because it came from the feeder container, most likely the former.

I'm hoping for one of the smaller species! Thank you.
