That's a spectacular and book pic worthy specimen. Nice work.

WOW, very nice fish! Looks like a lot of attitude, is that common with this species? Can they work in a community tank?

Beautiful, I've always been intrigued by the Myersi.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! He is really fun fish to own.

Thank you! Both of the males I have owned have not played well with others after they hit the 8 inch mark. With that being said I think they may do fine in a community setting with the right mix of fish. It is so hard to say because so few hobbyist are keeping this species. Mine might very well be the exception to the rule. I actually think they may get bullied easily by other large aggressive cichlids with more robust jaw structure. One thing I do know from my own experience for sure is they do not get along with there own kind.
