Today I bought a juvenile livingstoni cichlid. Fascinating color.
Can I have a few?
In order: C. gibberosa from the Congo coast (mine are kapampa) -- then Benthochromis tricoti, Copadichromis mloto, Otopharynx lithobates "Zimbabwe Rock"

Neolamprologus brevis. I had them for years and I miss those guys. They were so much fun watching them fight over shells. My favorite was when they couldn't get their neighbor to move so they buried the shell next door. I have multis now and it just isn't the same.
I think I like their juvenile colors better than their adult colors. Really love that look
The fish has great personality as well. Love watching. It's less than 3 inches but still behaves like a predator.
Definitely a predator. I think they lay down on the substrate like their dead to ambush smaller Cichlids that swim by.
I have a dubosi as well. Same size as the livingstoni. Their daily face off is incredible. They do not bite each other; just stare at each other for long time showing silent aggressive threats. Makes me remember the school days lol.
I think oscars have also been observed doing that.
Pretty cool, and a good testament to cichlid intelligence.
