Updated pics of my Acarichthys Heckelii

[JK47]

Probably severums, a chocolate cichlid, and maybe a few smaller guys like keyholes or Laetacara. I've just noticed that my H. severus is really pushy and occasionally he/she frays my chocolate's fins when they quarrel, so I'm wondering if the same would happen with the heckelii.

I have one green and two rotkeils in with them as well as uaru. No chocolates though. Everyone in my tank is smaller so take it for what it's worth but there have never been any issues with any other cichlid, everyone has trailers. These two can fend for themselves well but no one really bothers them either. The rotkeils spend so much time chacing each other I don't think they even know the heckelii are even there.

BTW the little one is not 2.5' that's a typo... It's only 2.5", my bad. (someone was going to call me on it and we all know it!)

Very nice. My lfs had a few in a couple months ago, but they were charging $20 each at 2", and they had a mild case of ich. Even still I was tempted, but had to pass. Maybe next time.

I paid $25 each around that size, high price but worth it IMO. No ich either! They have a large 6"+ specimen right now for $50. It is a little torn up on the fins/railers. I wanted to get it but am holding off any more fish till I move some...
