Here's pics of my 5-6" one. Thank you very much again Kevin for this guy.

If you have a Hop. Psittacus please post pics here.

Gorgeous fish

agreed, looks like a nice healthy male.

Milky, just so you know these guys are sexually monomorphic. But he could very likely be a male.

Didn't know that, just looks like the male I was gona purchase awhile back.

thanks for teaching me something new

Such beautiful fish, I really would like to keep some but they don't seem to be readily available in my area. One LFS does have a 7" pair for 200 bucks.

BD - if they are a true pair, $200 is hardly pennies for such an investment.

I wonder, can these be vented?

very nice TRUE parrot cichlid!

At 7" they won't even be sexually mature yet, so I doubt it's a true "pair".

Hot fish. Too bad they wouldn't last long in my CA tanks. I need to get some SA tanks up.
