Yeah always thought of keeping them in a 2 footer

Saw them at C328. At this age can't sex them right? Are they fussy eaters?

Cool..thought I read somewhere they were fussy eaters...or maybe its not them. There is another very similar one...C.Maculatus or something? But I think this is the nicer one..lyretail cichlid right?

Do you know if they nip fins?

Very cute pieces, do pump them up! They are indeed one of the most interesting dwarf cichlids around. Love their feisty character
