[Cross127]

Hi everyone. I am picking up an Arrow cichlid from Rapps when I order my other stock as well . If anyone has a little info on them it would be very benficial to me. I have tried searching the net for info but the info i have found is inconsistant and very vague on the keeping and general information of this wonderful cichlid. Thanks a bunch guys!!

Thank you. Also do you know max size? I have heard 6 or 7 inches but then heard more like 12". I just don't want my jag to beat the crap out of him and have a $40 fish for breakfast.
