cichlids.com: Streak "Streaking" Up to grab some food!

Streak "Streaking" Up to grab some food!

He is my favourite cichlid. He came home as a 2" kid and has grown close to 5 inches now. Typical cichlid, he loves to inspect when I bring my camera close. Surprisingly harmless for a GT, but knows how to hold his fort when needed.

He shares a 24"x26"x18" (~190 liter) tank with 3 lifalili jewel cichlids and a blood parrot cichlid.

Thank you Joshua. I am planning on getting him a big tank (60" x 24" x 24") in a couple of months from now.

Thank you Roger. Yeah this guy is loads of personality and fun. And a nice guy too. I sometimes wonder if he is really some other fish in a GT's clothing :)
