Haitiensis - Pretty fish?

[Aquanero]

I like the way they look, IDK if pretty is the first thing that comes to mind but I like'em.

 

[Blue Demp]

Anyone who has seen one in person or has had one knows they're not just black and white. They get the same blue hue coloration Jags get when full grown. If you compare it to a festae, they're ugly... but they are beautiful on their own.

 

[Gruff Master]

They are not one of the prettiest I've seen by far. Then again I haven't seen that many. The ones that I have seen have all been less than beautiful.

They are the only fish I REALLY want besides the Dovii I finally got. Anybody know where I can get them?

To 100 Gallons: www.mainlycichlids.com has black nasties. Good luck with them.

To Blue Demp: Thanks for the insight. Your insight along with others help me understand how these guys *might* look if I ever keep them.

Compared to a female festae or RTM in breeding dress? Kind of drab. A large male haitiensis might not be pretty, but they are impressive and intimidating!
