Chocolate Cichlid (Hypselecara temporalis)

I'm also a big fan of these fish. I have 2 pairs in the same tank. Aggressive behaviour is low, even while breeding. I'm constantly impressed by their colours, they just get better and better with age.
Your chocolates are beautiful. What size tank are you housing them in? hope to be able to add more eventually.
Thanks. They are in a 7x2x2.
I may have to find a home for one of the pairs eventually as I have other fish and I may need more room as these grow.
At the moment both males are around 9 or 10 inches and the females about 5 inches.
I also have 8 tapajos geos a couple of p, scalare pairs and a true parrot cichlid.
I have no problems with aggression but I don't want things to become crowded.
The lighting is dark but that's part of why I took these.
I have had Choco Loco the pig since Dec, 2020 and this shows how much he/she has grown since.

Nice. Yours is looking a bit chunkier than mine. I got mine Sept 2020 at a little scrawny 3" or so. It's now a little over 6". The little bugger has taken a liking to Odessa Barb flesh too! It's eaten two so far by my reckoning.
Mine does eat guppy dithers when it gets the chance. Mine does look to be 1in+ thick.
