no, but they are VERY closely related to P's. about as close as you can get. so i definitely understand where youre coming from. always nice to try something new. thats actually how i got into these. i was all about ONLY guapotes and large CA cichlids for a long time. so something small was way out of my league.
you could try firemouths or a breeding pair of convicts.
or a bunch of dwarf cichlids (apistos, german blue rams, bolivian rams, kribensis, ect). these guys, unlike most cichlids, wont uproot or eat your plants. and due to their size, they are ok with tankmates.
