A very cool fish that was collected in park that was subsequently submerged underwater by the local spring. Below are photos of one of the large males. I have photos of the fish in breeding dress....basically turns black and white. If I can find it i will post it.

As Matt said, these guys were brutal on one another. In a 180, with a ton of other fish (temporarily housed during Matt's house fire) and they still would seek each other out for punishment.

Pretty Cichlid, I never had one, but it look like they come in different colors, is that right? I also wonder why you don't see many of them, and why people are not inquiring about them?
