ALTHOUGH THEY ARE A VERY ATTRACTIVE FISH, THEY ARE BY CICHLID STANDARDS VERY DOCILE.. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULL WHAT YOU INTRODUCE THEM IN OR TO. I HAVE HAD A FEW IN THE PAST AND HAD THEM IN A 130G FRESHIE TANK. THERE WERE ALSO TEXAS CICHLIDS AND REGULAR DEMPSEYS AS WELL..ALL CICHLIDS WERE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE..THE ELECTRICS GOT THE CRAP BEATEN OUT OF THEM..HAD TO SEPARATE THEM. THIS WAS A TANK WITH LOTS OF PLANTS AND COVER AS WELL. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU KEEP THEM ALONE OR WITH SMALL COMPANIONS..WHO KNOWS YOU MIGHT GET A FISH WITH A TIGER CHARACTER.. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST YOU CHECK OUT AS A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE.. SALVINI CICHLIDS. NOT AS BRIGHT AS THE ELECTRICS BUT GREAT COLOUR AND DEFINATELY CAPABLE OF HANDLING THEMSELVES... PROLIFIC BREEDERS TOO..
