I've seen pics of them together in a 600g along with other fish, I believe it was a member here. I keep my emp with a mixed community (no cichla) and so far so good.

Actually I think Trust had a bad experience with a emp taking out a cichla.

i believe they are the largest of all the cichlids

I have some in grow out now..........probably about 10 inches.....headed for the big tank.......they seem to be growing quickly and eating like pigs

brian had some at ocean blue.........

Some people have had it work for them, some haven't.. All depends on how aggro the Emps are.

Well looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on them and separate them if it gets to be a war zone. Thanks guys

From what i hear, you are correct.
One LFS says they have them, but for 8 bucks and looking totally different, they obviously mislabeled.
