Ok, I got into some trouble at the LFS (which will probably appeal to you fellow MFKs.) I was researching a fish they labelled as a Convict Cichlid, thinking it should be okay with my Keyhole Cichlid and two plecos and the picture looked similair on the internet. Well, I traded a few mollies and such for the bad boy today, got him for £3, only I think he aint a Convict 
It's a Venustus
Anyhow, he's sharing a 25 gal with Keyhole (2") and two Plecos (2-3"), and is himself a 4". From what i've been reading they grow HUGE! Anyhow, is there a problem keeping Central American and this African beast together, aslong as there is enough room? They're getting along well, and swim together, sort of like a pair. I've set my tank up nice, slate rock stacked against the back wall, and a large piece of driftwood. He's already eating bloodworm and such, and I'm certainly up for looking after this beast
Any recommendations on setup type or food other than standard? How long do they take to grow?
Also, although this guys fairly placid at the moment, I'm naming him after a caiman at a pet store I visit for livefoods; AGGRO.
