Dipset Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks like a bleekeri to me, and its an african. They get about 10-12" and are a little on the aggressive side. Quite nice fish when they get larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they will be polleni as they are more common. They are both Madagascar cichlids though. Can get fairly aggressive and can get to a fairly good size.

BettaFishMommy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 definitely either p. polleni or p. bleekeri. i have one, he's a wimp, lol, but i've read that their personality is sometimes likened to that of an oscar. depends on the individual fish.
