    I received this fish with a tank that I purchased.
    Pretty sure it is one of the Aequidens species (Pallidus?) - Male +-15cm, FM 10cm+ (According to previous owner they have spawned before)
    One Pleco (species?) about 7cm. Collection in Centurion asap - I need my tank for fry.....IMG_3394.jpg

    Identified them as sub-adult as Aquidens Rivulatus (Green Terror Cichlid)
    In the quarantine tank.

    A better picture of the 2.
    Still not 100% sure about the ID yet, although I am leaning towards Aquitens Rivulatus.
    Can anyone confirm the ID?

    Update pics.
    They have been in the tank about a month now.
    The male bullies the female, chasing her all around the tank.

    I am considering exchanging the female for another female, to see whether they will be more compatible, and possibly breed.
