Melanochromis chipoke (tuffy) yeah I had one before, male just like yours, they are just pure bastards. I bought my out of a show tank at a LFS when he went on a rampage and killed 9 fish in the tank in one day. Got him for a $1 cause they wanted rid of him.

I didn't have any problems with it when I got it though. He was the boss of my 55 as well. Yours is a nice one too, rottbo.
 
That is an outrageous price for one. My LFS sells them for like $4 a piece for that size. No wonder you don't go there.


Yeah let them establish a territory and I don't think there is any cichlid that they won't stand up to.
 
Ahh, polystigma, ok. How big is she, if she is full grown. My male was pushing 17in before I lost him.
