One of my favorite cichlids. I have a group of 7 (mix of f1 rio san juan and a few of untraceable lineage) in a 40b with a pair of archocentrus centrarchus and a female amatitlania septemfasciata 'rio corinto'

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Nice mix Corey, best of luck with them.

They remind me of little Oscar’s and juvenile flowerhorns

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Ha ha, they do look very different as youngsters

[@liamwalters5029]

Never kept them but I love there small I’m permanently looking at smaller cichlids

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

It’s a good way to go Liam, you don’t need huge tanks and the aggression is manageable.

[@liamwalters5029]

@@BillsCichlidRoom I personally think you get much more natural behaviour in the tank if they have the room

[@user-im1hv4xl1f]

How many of them could I keep in a 20 gallon?

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Hi Thomas, in a 20 gallon, I’d just go with a pair.

What cichlid is in the tank with them Bill?

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Hi Deborah, there are Tomocichlia Asfraci & a couple of small cutteri
