Thanks all. As I'm fond of saying, you can't always fit a 240 gallon when all you have is 30" of space. Dwarf cichlids are a great addition when you just don't have a lot of room to work with.

Yeah, they are beautiful fish and have been on the wish list for over a decade.
She's already colored up for me, I just haven't been able to get a good shot of her. She's still less than half the size of the male so gets chased a lot. She's been coming out more now that she dug herself out a retreat that the male is too large for. If they are anything like Pelvicachromis in breeding habits, that could be a good thing.

My male is out a fair bit ... not a lot. Any movement sends him scurrying for the caves though. Once in a while he'll see me, and start shaking his head back and forth like he is about to bang the glass at me, but then I'll move and poof ... gone. I'd hate to see how shy they would be without the lampeyes there as dithers.
