Cyrtocara moorii is an African Cichlid which should be kept with other African Cichlids that have similar needs,
The African Old World part of the forum is going to be your best bet for more info on these

aka Hap Moorii, not sure why they had them in with Convicts as Convicts are South American. Moorii grow large and males can be very aggressive especially toward other males Moorii especially at breeding time. Beautiful fish, they develop a pronounced hump on their fore heads like Frontosa, more pronounced in males. I have 4, they're one of my favorite Cichlids.

ahh thought it was american as it was the same tank as the convicts, tough fish as the convicts got chased around a fair bit . They look nice but as i've got amaerican will not bother with the fish. Thanks for the information
