This is one of the species I imported in May. They were only 1/2 inch when I got them but now they are between 1.5-1.75 inches. This is one of the non-haplochromines from the Victoria basin. It's a very versatile species that can be kept with pretty much anything, and wont hybridize. Adult males are very nice with yellow body and reddish fins. They grow to sizes between 6-8 inches and should not be kept in tanks smaller than 90 gallons. This strain is from University of Leiden.

Here are a couple of pics of the juvies.

This is how they will look as adults. This male is 6" and 2 years old.
