There is a section dedicated to datnoids and no they are not only kept with CA/SA. And they are an asian species. Very true that there isn't much info on emperor cichlids out there but you have to know they get massive. Like I stated before I am not sure what your plans are with these fish just make sure they get a proper sized home because so few people have the facilities to house these fish long term and they do grow VERY fast.
 
I didn't know emperor cichlids had been featured in a National Geographic show! Does anyone know the name of the program? I'd love to see them in the wild.

The program is called "Jewels of the Rift" I believe and features the great cichlids of lake tanganyika. It was one of the videos that inspired me too keep africans. Emperors are truly magnificent fish.

Go to like 2:40 and from then it on it talks about the emperors.
