This thread forced me to become a cichla owner. I put the pair in my main tank and my native bass went after them so they were moved into the sump.

Glad to see another join the group. Do have any side profile pics?
The picture is taken in a Rubbermaid tote so no side view. A few months after buying the bass the pond by me had a huge duckweed bloom. I took a bunch home and put it in by sump with the bass. The duckweed clogged the pump and my bass died.

After that experience I ditched the sump and went with canister and HOB only. I have been keeping my eye open at LFS for larger Pbass that won't get eaten in my tank. Yesterday was the day, I picked up 2 of them ~6 inches. They are really skinny but eating feeders. Pictures to come soon.
