Those are the coolest looking fish! I'm already on google looking them up. I've never seen them or heard of them before.
Edit: Ah-ha, I see why now. Indian Cichlids are super rare? I guess that means I won't be getting any. :-(

the Etroplus maculata and the Etroplus Suratensis are quite common, so common that they are food fish,i.e; the suratensis.TwistedPenguin;3291969; said:

oh they are crazy aggressive towards anything thats as big as them or bigger than them, even plecos are shredded by these grazing fish.HarlanAshmore;3292149; said:
even at the size shown above thats less than an inch they keep having squabbles with each other, but they don't seem to damage themselves.
