Bought a male and female from SLS last weekend and thought I would update that these are a delightful fish that really come up to you (the girl is having a problem with working out the difference of poo and food which is funny).

I think mine are still very very young, and look like those in the pictures shown in the below url

My guys are very small and live in my bristlenose breeding tank, cause due to their size I am afraid they will be eaten by other fish however they should grow to a nice healthy size of about 9 - 10 cm.

No tips yet, but give me time they are my current project =) I love dwarf cichlides, very much, including keyholes (my pair I have found a welcome addition to a community tank, very friendly and oh so curious on whats happening especially during water changes).
