Does anyone keep emperor cichlids?

[qwesty]

Just wondering if anyone is keeping emperor cichlids (Boulengerochromis microlepis) and if so can you please post some pics? I'm thinking of getting some for a new tank I have in the works.

Ewok has a juvie up for sale, but other than that I don't know anyone on here who owns one. But please, whoever owns them post some pics.

There is a place in Ohio that has them upon occasion. SomethingsFishy I think is the name.

That is such a beautiful tank. It's one of the best Tang tanks I have seen. Nice.
