In a van down by the river.
This pair was given to me by a good friend and fellow MFK member Ruck Fules. They are roughly 5-6” TL and currently being housed in a 40g breeder. This is one of the most beautiful cichlids I have ever kept IMO, this video does them NO justice. I also have what I believe to be another 5-6” male & female in my 210g community, conspecific temperament is very aggressive in my experience with these fish however they do well with other species. Enjoy!

Nice pair and I agree they are one of the most beautiful cichlids. It seems like a lot of astatheros cichlids are very aggressive to their own kind.

Yes I've also kept rostratum, nourissati and robertsoni but these guys take the cake with nourissati not to far behind.

Good to know. I have had a lot of trouble keeping robertsoni w/ thorichthys, but somehow mine is not aggressive towards my rostratum. It has been almost 2 years, but I am sure that will change eventually.
