Intresting looking fish. I can't say what we thought when we saw the shape of this guy...

J&C...yeah, the "shape" has been discussed on a pic I uploaded ealier today...but, it IS a cichlid

I think he's cool..

I like those guys a lot had one mean little guy he stood on the bottom of the tank most the time

how big is he mine was about 2in.

Hahahahaha.... we probably shouldn't go there again, Jerry will get a bucket of water...

I raise them I put up a picture of mine last night with babies, but I call them lionheads. My pair looks like yours. my male and female look alike but my male has a slightly larger hump. You do know that they bond for life and when ones mate dies they will never pair up with any one again. It is hard to get a pair. You must buy them very young and grow them up together. Alot of times when you buy them from a store they were stripped from their mate. I bought 6 small babies wild caught and ended up with one pair that bonded and now I have babies. How long have you had these two? It took mine months to bond.

Dee...got the male last week and the female yesterday. Babies would be nice but I got them to add some variety to my tanks. I'll be happy if they just don't kill each other...or tankmates

They are very peaceful and funny fish. You will love them. They will not harm anything unless they do breed and then they will chase off anything that comes around their eggs and babies.

Dee...my biggest fear was that my Sidthimunki loaches would be a quick snack...but, so far so good
