    Hi all, i have these stunning little guys for sale. There might be 2males and 2 females. Very placid and layed back fish. Have real personalities. Can be kept with almost anything that does not fit into there mouths. Discus,Rams, Rays, ect. Thats the reason im selling. They do grow very quick and has more than doubled in size in the time i have had them so consider your tank size.

    @ROEKSTE,
    I also had to thin my Chocolates out. Started with 6 un-sexable youngsters. As they started to mature, and pair up, all hell broke loose in my tank.
    I am down to 1 pair now.

    Stunning fish and the most peacefull cichlids i have seen towards other fish
    I had 4 and never a problem but as Reedfish says, once they pair up you can only have the pair in the tank as they get agressive towards each other although they were fine with the other fish
    They really stunning

    The one pair set up home on a low piece of wood
    When the Rays came near, they had a go at them. My main concern was the cichlids attacking their eyes.

    @Reedfish @MariaS - Thanks
    Luckily I have a 3m tank for them and so at this stage the 1 male have 2 females enjoying life, as for the sub male, he is just allowed to be and nothing else. They are really very nice to keep. Amazed at how gently they are.
