Chocolate Cichlid (Hypselecara temporalis)

Definitely has the wet pet interest. Couple of tank mates too.

Krib looks pregnant, is there a male too?

No male at the moment. I am considering it though.

New Liberifer finally coming out while I'm in the room. I don't typically name my fish but the chocolate is going through the name process. Chocolate is my favorite food group so most of the names are chocolate themed paired with pig. Piggly Wiggly needs better food intake monitoring so he doesn't choke. ?

Great looking Chocolate Cichlid! Just a question as I've been looking into these fish, even at the fish's young age does it seems aggressive?

He doesn't back down from the rainbows or the Liberifer. I haven't seen him going after the others though. He's usually staring up at the surface watching for food.

My chocolate is about 6" and definitely lets everyone know he's the boss. He was very timid when I first got him but he spends more time following me and chasing tabkmates than any of my other fish. Really a cool wet pet with some great colors.

Finally grown to about the size of the rainbow cichlids and able to down 3mm pellets.

Do either of you think one would go after my roselines?
