Mines been fine, I've seen other solo chocs too, particularly FINWIN 's. My major concern was that I wouldn't get the "colours" unless I had a pair. But as you can see mine's beautiful and still only young, more to come I hope. And finwins choc Bobo is pretty famous on here for its colour displays, I've never seen anything like it for a solo species fish.Do Chocolates do well solo? My 120 gal. is only suitable for one.
Stanzzzz7 has a pair and his are stunning too. So it looks like whether you go solo, or pair them up, there is a strong chance with this cichlid that you will get some good colour results.
