My favourite cichlid of all time.

These fish are severely under-rated. I don't think that for $120 you would be getting the genuine red variety, as they are quite rare in Aus, if you are then that's a great deal.

Males to 18" females to 12".

Very laid back species, i would compare them to Cichla sp. Peaceful but crazy feeders.

They are great fish. I have 6 of the normal morphs and they don't fight much at all in the 5x2x2. Still amazed watching them shoot their mouths open when feeding or even yawning. They range in size from 15-30cm.

Here's a few pics :)
