here is mine meauring around 35cm, too bad that this fish is very underated here, but I got him cheap at this size, and he is doing fine with all the tank mates in my 400g tank.

Nice butti! Glad he getting along with everyone. Ive got one growing out in a 55 hes only about 5" or so had him since he was less than 1". They are awesome fish dont know why they dont get much love on here. They got tons of personality and make great wet pets.

I am guessing its because of the lack of colors that butti has for being in a cichlid species, but that just my opinion, and apart from that, I think butti is an interesting fish after all. I want it to set up a tank just enough for him self, then on I'd like to see its character from there.
 
nice looking fish, one of my all time favs, i have two a male and female, how do i know? because they paired off of 6 i owned. from what i understand it is impossible to tell a male from a female unless they pair off. very nice looking fish,
 
thanks all, I've just noticed that my butti would not attack others unless provoked by other tankmates, lol
 
I love them I have just been scared off of them from all the horror stories I have read.
