Its a good choice to get some of these guys, they are almost my favourite of all the cichlids as they make the aquarium look so brightly coloured, almost like a marine reef community.

They tend to be one of the most peaceful types of cichlid around. They can live on their own or in pairs and are not territorial at all!

They can grow to 7 or 8 inches so i would say that you need to have a reasonably sized tank (definately over and above 30g or so).

they particularly like to have lots of rocks and caves in their tank that will provide hiding places for them. they tend to be quite good at not digging into the substrate so your plants should be fine.
