I just picked up a group of these, from SICichlids, and it was instant love. With the fish that is.:runnningaround:

One of the very few Cyps that I would keep.
When Atlantis got them in last February I wanted them, but they were in rough shape.
My assumption is that the male is not fully grown yet, is that correct?

Good size Bill but it was the first day in the tank. I think they are beauties for only a few hours in a new environment. I think they are going to be real stunners.

In a couple of months they'll look awesome! Not that they don't look good now. Good luck with them.

Rob,
Those are really nice. How big will they grow and are they able to reproduce at the size they are now??

They are @ the 3" - 3 1/4" inch mark now and I think they can produce. They max out @ about 4 1/2" maybe 5". I have had Micro Kigoma and they were 4" when I had them and the female held 3xs but not to term. If they are anything like Leptosoma , they should be able to, at this size, w/o a problem.
