these guys are extremely communal cichlid..Iv only seen a few people keeping them.
way over looked and under rated I think largely based on there colors...as far as personality goes these guys have blown every thing out of the water i have ever seen..simply amazing little bottom dwelling cichlids!
I currently have a group of 8

You should see how they act...they are extremely communal with each other...every morning they all get together with the dominate maple (Randy) and rub and hop around on each other mouth each other and run up and down the tank walls together..for about an hour than break off to there own caves. through out the day if they come across each other they rub along each other ( mostly with the dominate male) fanning there tail in his face and take turns sitting on top of his head until his lady runs them off..crazy fish..so much personality in tiny bodies!! adult males only reach about 5.5 inches females about 4.
 
Interesting thread. Those are some cool looking cichlids. Keep 'em coming.
