got a horrible pet shop nearby who know absolutely nothing about fish and had this 4" fish in a 3ft tank with about 20 dyed parrotfish, 20 african malawi's and a scary oscar/severum hybrid and so rescued the little bugger for ten quid just to get it out of the tank! assumed it was a chocolate cichlid (shopkeeper told me it could be anything as cichlids are all mongrel fish, could've hit him!) but can someone confirm that for me and if you have any experience with them some advice please as kept many new world cichlids but never one of these.
