I got it from loves severums because it was getting to aggressive for her so I traded her for some cutteri fry that I bred (thanks Jenna.) She's in a 90 of mine with about 15 other fish (rainbow cichlids, centrarchus, cutteri, a convict, and some other smaller/random new world cichlids.) About 2 weeks ago she successfully spawned with a male cutterXseptemfasciatus (another hybrid that came from the same store as the salviniXfiremouth.) The fry were free swimming for about a week but I didn't feed my fish 1 day and all the fry got eaten. I suspect they are going to spawn again soon. If I decide to keep any I will have a 4 way hybrid LOL.

I will try to get a update of the female soon. I still have the other one but I have it in a tank with a bunch of spirulus grow outs.

how big is she now? i miss her sooo much.
 
Probably 5" I don't expect her to get over 6" since it's a girl and firemouth stay 4-5" and salvini get about 8" so I figure 6" is the middle. She's about average size in my tank but she's one of the most aggressive fish. I like her blue lips, she reminds me of astatheros but she's too aggressive.
