We have 2 in our 15 gallon tank.

Here is Susie (named after our fabulous vet!):

They are beautiful and entertaining. When I turn the light on, they get all active and when I touch the glass, they follow my fingers. :)

The only downside is that they are really aggressive, so I can't add any fish.

They are beautiful, Kelly! :) We only have one fish, Otto, a Betta, who is a new addition to our family (he's Helen's baby). :)

Yours are beautiful! I almost got a blood red cichlid (i think that's what they're called:)) They red cichlids are beautiful. When they are young, they are a pale red/pink color. And when they grow up, they become a bold dark red.

I have three. They are all African Cichlids. I have two frontosas and one Neolamp. All three are very aggressive.

The Neolamp (Eugene) is about 7 inches long right now and the Frontosas (Lilo & Stitch) are about 4-5 inches but they will be between 10-12 when they are full grown. The tank was dirty in this picture :p When the frontosas get bigger they will get a really pretty blue color and a big hump on their heads.

This is Lilo (frontosa)
