Ive read that they can live in cold water, how cold?

i dno wether they can live in cold water but they are very aggresive
here is my 10" male who lives alone =P

Excuse his ragged fins! he got attacked at the LFS he was new when i took these pictures

ok, its a beautiful male you've got there.

Wouldn't keep one under 65 F. That is too cold for the fish imo, but it can certainly be done.

I would keep it at standard tropical temperatures just to keep the fish at its best. They are underappreciated fish, decent color, personality, and size.

if that fish is only, what is beating it up??

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

he said it was attacked at the lfs

Awesome fish, treat it like a normal cichlid, they deserve warm water too.
They do have a nasty attitude though.
