yah its defo a nicaraguense but they are diffrent from african cichlids right? have you mixed yours at all? looks like i will have to get rid ov them

The nicaraguense is a Central American Cichlid, do you have a pair or just to individuals do you know?
They are a relatively peaceful fish as far as cichlids go and so if you have another tank with medium sized fish you could try moving them there, (sure i saw somewhere that you had another tank for the bala sharks)

The smallest fish that shares my tank with my 7" nicaraguense is a 2" female kribensis, the nicaraguense would rather let her have the food than challenge her for it, my nic is a big softy.
