Okay I saw Herichthys minckleyi cichlid and was trying to do some research on it and I can't really find anything on it. I am Trying to find out how big they get what temp they need what kind of PH and everything else that is know about this fish please help
 
There is some info of the desert fishes council website, look under the cuatro cienigas heading.

I had some of the detritus feeders about 10 or so years ago.
As with many Herichthyines, they need pristine water quality, or they become susceptible to bloat. I found weekly water changes were not enough, but lost them before I started the every other day water change routine I practice today
