I’ve loved mine !! Just as gorgeous as this one. Love the size you got there mines still got a long way to go.

I yearn for that fish. Starry night and the Red-spotted Gold Sevrum are my most desired aggressive Cichlids. Thank You, Corey, for spotlighting this rare beauty; I knew I stayed subbed to your channel for a reason👍🏾.

Nice addition man, I've had a pair of 6 inchers for a while now. The male is laid back and easy going but the female is a beast and swims all around face down dive bombing anything in her path lol. Even the 8" predator haps steer clear of her.

I have had this fish and I love them. I am starting up a 500 gallon and would love to add them to the tank. As a Malawi "purist" I am having trouble though mixing a Madagascar cichlid with Lake Malawi cichlids. Can you talk me into it?
