Yeah we're just a wind blown little farm town...well "little"

[charles-n-charge]

ill post some pics of him in the african cichlid area and see what feed-back i get. im rather curious about it now myself

 

[Liz Sagara]

yeah

 

[charles-n-charge]

got it. google Psudotropheus demasoni, thats definately the right fish

 

[Liz Sagara]

Yep. More aggressive than the Johanni and Salousi... heh.

 

[charles-n-charge]

yeah but it says that they are dwarf cichlids and only reach a max of 2.5-3" so thatll help

 

[Liz Sagara]

I dunno... my dwarf puffers killed a 3 inch apple snail once... Cichlids are capable of killing things much larger than themselves.

 

[charles-n-charge]

sad thing is that i used to have 2 of them, but one jumped out of the tank lol

It really won't. A 3" Demasoni is just as aggressive as a 5" Zebra, if not more so. The reason Demasoni are typically more expensive than other Mbuna is because they are so aggressive, it's harder to breed them.
