"Ruby clown cichlids" is another common name for the species. I wish store would stop making up such dull common names. Not only do we not need more common names, the creativity of them sucks!

Nice fish, by the way! Hope they do well! I usually don't have a lot of luck with PetCo fish.

Thanks and petco also told me that they are extremely aggressive species lol i asually dont have alot of luck with their fish either but most of my fish that i bought from them are still alive and kicking

They are Bolivian Rams.

What's your tank size?

If they are in your 55g you are ok.

Lets just hope that they all have a pair and they don't attack each other.

They're not really that aggressive though.

I know what they are and yes they are in my 55 gallon tank i havent seen any aggressive behavior yet.. hopefully not anytime soon..they still didnt pair up and theyre just chilling around the botton of the tank
