i love all the pics truly amazing specimens!i wish i could have some my house temp shifts so rapidly they'd be dead in a hour.just for educational purposes what is the tank size and parameters,tankmates.
20gal tall for a pair is the min. tank size
Tankmates - Seen them kept with smaller docile SA cichlids, (Kribs, Apistogamma,Rams), Ive also seen people keep them with angels but its not recommended.
Parameters - Soft as you can get it, and very acidic.... so PH in the 5's or less... and kH/GH as low as you can go.... best tanks are planted.
I tried to breed some, and just got a established pair going in there own tank when I had to leave the country... They are really gorgeous, and I love the way they watch you... I was on the otherside of the room, and always felt there eyes looking at me when i watched tv... lol
and my pair
