what forum advice would you like?
I have a beautiful chocolate cichlid.....stunning around 8+inches....great cichlid to keep,kept as only cichlid but never had any beef when i kept it with oscars and polleni,the poll ended up picking on the choc....

From my 2-2.5yrs of having it i have never had an issue from it and the colour changes is so emence its untrue,even now my missus says "oi Nelly you been buying more fish" "bloomin heck love thats the same one weve have over 2yrs,you want some glasse's woman "

well, kinda like how fast do they grow and if they have personality and stuff like that.

you still have it? id love to see a pic and if you have one when it was little thatd be great too so i can show my lfs so they can get me one

also what do you feed it to get the best colour and activity?

and how much didi you get it for? how big?
