My local Big Al's has them instock so im probably going to buy one. I just hope Loonie doesnt start beef with them..
Beautiful fish!
Wish these were around in my area.. What online store would you recommend?
Imperial tropicals, Cunningham tropicals, Tampa bay cichlids, or Ron’s cichlids. One of them will likely have them in stock
Anymore breeding tips?

I love African cichlids however I like aqua scapes more so I chose the south/ Central American cichlids instead 😊
Hello, great video. I have an empty 120 gallon tank, I would like to keep it simple, two species just Star Sapphire and Sunshine Peacock. How many would you get of each and what sex?
Maybe 1-2 males of each, and 6-8 females of each
