Blackthroat Cichlid (Astatheros Macracanthus)

Has anyone or is anyone keeping this fish?

Any info would be appreciated as im considering housing a pair of these with an Amarillo
 
I have this species, theyre only small at the moment, around 3-4cm. Theyre very slow growers, mine havnt grown much in 3 months. I origionally had a group of 10 but only have 4 left :(

Ouch!
Did they kill eachother or did they just not make it?

And dang on the slow growing part lol. Cause the ones i can get are also very small :/ hmm

Although they are hard on each other, i think they just didnt make it.

Mine came from Tillmans in Germany, a friend of mine is going to pick me some more up hopefully later this month :) These had previously been on my 'most wanted' list for over 5 years lol. They are very rare, and not so popular either im afraid.

Ahh okay.
These are coming out of Verduin in Germany, and i REALLY would like to get some, but i just can't stand the 2 year wait untill they are something to look at :/
Hmm.. And yes it's a shame they are pretty rare since i would love to get my hands on some subadults

I think they all origionate from the same breeder.
Tillmans had a 5" pair in recently, theyve gone now, but get these in regulary.
