I currently have the Fianarantsoa- Small Spot. Their temperament is consistent with other cichlids. They don't like their own kind too much but do well with other species.
I keep mine with other Malagasy cichlids: P. Lamena, P. Oligacanthus, P Menarambo, P Katria. Unfortunatly, I am located in Maryland. Both Paratilapia species can be easily found in lfs throughout the state. If you are willing to pay shipping you might be able to locate some maybe closer to you. Try
www.Armkes.com; Texas. Speak with Sonia. She might be able to locate them for you. If you are looking for other species, I know she can order them as well. Good luck.
