Chris, these guys grow up to a foot long. If you plan on keeping them the whole life span, they will need a bigger tank eventually

Thisi is deffinately a young venustus, or giraffe cichlid. Livingstone is a lot more spotty. They are beautiful fish when bigger

when they are big enough and mature enough they will.. if you have girls and boys that is.. a great diet helps.. good quality food and frozen/ live stuff too.. brine shrimp bloodworn mytsis shrimp etc..
