This is kind of cool, these guys were like barely an inch a month ago and already doing some interesting behavior, starting to get all sorts of little turquoise and yellow. who knows if they will be a pair. I wish i got more of them. You guys should try them out if you havent.

This is them a month ago and then now.

I agree - Rainbow Cichlids are great fish. Just wait until they start breeding!

They have been on my list of fish to keep, but I haven't got my hands on some yet.

I love this species as well. If you really want to get a show from them, give them a large tank with only some livebearers as tank mates. The disputes between pairs are entertaining to watch, but not deadly.

I am growing out 11 that were sold as f1s. The parents were collected in Limon Costa Rica. I'm interested to see if there are any differences. I'm planning a 125g species tank with Poecillia mexicana as dithers/targets.

I love them. Really neat little fish, and gorgeous. They are very different than other CA cichlids in their jaws and how they mostly graze on algae.
