Ive had her for about 5 years now. shes really passive and gets along with everyone peacefully ! I'm in the process of having a new tank built for her and a few other of her fish friends . Enjoy !

I actually just saw a small polleni in an aquarium shop and it brought me to this area of the forums.
Ive always liked the dark black on these cichlids. One day i'm going to have me a pair of these. She's gorgeous amd you've taken great care of her

shes around the 7 inch mark. Shes never laid eggs for me but I haven't had a male small spot either. I finally ordered one and had him shipped hoping maybe she could have a boyfriend someday. When I received him he was very ill. He is a good size ( 3 inches ) but he ended up with ich and then a secondary infection which I almost lost him. Long story short I saved him but his one eye is not good anymore ( blind ) regardless he is a nice fish but he will have to be isolated for quite some time before I will introduce him to " kiwi " . " kiwi " is my favorite fish . she has quite the personality . she bites the glass when she wants nightcrawlers . Plays dead when I stick my hand in the tank and stands her ground when another fish is in her face. Best fish by far for personality. I really hope this male grows eventually into a nice small spot. The problem with these small spots ive found is they are really sensitive when they are older when it comes to changes ( moving them ) I lost my large spot male the last move I made ( only three blocks .... ) he was around 12 " .
jean yours looks like a large spot ( bleekri ) and it is gorgeous !!!! definitely dominate colours !!!
Thank you . I do recommend you picking that one up . They have quite the personalities !! I don't usually name my fish but this one earned its name early on !!
