Pair in a 55G.............I kept a pair in a 180 and the male still killed the female. A 55 is too small for a pair unless you divide the tank for the females safety but that would leave them 27.50 gallons each....too small IMO.

They grow slow and in a divided tank I think a 55 would work, I breed a lot of fish much larger than that in 50 gallon breeders tanks with dividers. I have a pair that are about 4-5" in my indoor pond with fish up to 12-13" and they hold their own just fine. Ken.

They should be fine in a 55, as stated, just have a divider ready in case all does not go as planned.

Where at in Ohio are you and what is the name of the LFS? I wouldn't mind finding a fish store in Ohio that stocks more rare cichlids like grammodes, unless it's too far. With the cost of gas, I don't want to burn too much money traveling.

Judging from those pictures I would consider buying some, wow.
