Thanks a lot. Now the name is done. I can prolly do the rest myself. But any input for other people's experiance would be great!

Extremely aggressive once they pair up and start breeding. I have my pair in a tank of their very own, because I don't trust them with anything else.

After they spawn the babies stay around and help to protect the younger brothers and sisters forn later broods. So yo will wind up with a large school of related fish protecting a large area of the tank (0or the whole tank) .

One looks like a brichardi, but if my eyes aren't fooling me the other looks like a pulcher.

I posted here on how to tell them apart: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75062&page=2

If you do have two different species I'd return one for a same-species partner.

They are very easy to breed and they will even breed with there own young, my uncle had a breeding pair in with some big frontosa and the biggest frontosa backed down to them.
