Love the mouths on these guys...Always wanted them just very pricey around here (if you can ever find them) Last ones I seen were about 7-8 mos back and they wanted $75 for 1 inchers ....
He's about full grown isn't he?

I agree sm, they are very pricey. I got him and the calvus about 3yrs back when they were fairly small (2") for about $30 each. The last time my LFS had adults they want $79.99 for one.
I think he will stop growing now, but I do have another one that is about 5". I'm currently growing out 3 black calvus and 2 gold compressiceps in a 55g. They are such slow growers, but are well worth the wait.

Thank you all again for the kind comments

I always heard they were slow growers...One day I'd love to have a tank with a few in it. they are def in my top 3 of favorite fish.

The slowest growing cichlid I know of. $75 for 1"ers is outrageous, should be around 15-20 max. However they are a mint fish. The gold faced variety is prob one of the nicest.

What an eye catcher!!

nice fish dane..
