So far they show very minor aggression in the form of gill flaring and posturing. That's it.

They are definately agile swimmers and good jumpers. All foods are accepted.
They don't hide a lot and are absolutely brilliantly colored.
I hope they are here to stay in the trade after all these years of enjoying the legendary 'dream cichlid' status.

Sweet fish! reminds me of a Festae quite a bit. Maybe "long lost" relatives? Can't wait to see some in person and get a chance to raise some!
