Butterfly Cichlid

[Silva_Fishy]

i just wanted to say to everyone i just got a butterfly cichlid. They are really nice fish and if anyone is looking for a friend for rams these guys are a great candidate. They get those little blue and green spots on them like rams do and are very active. I really recomend this fish

Keep in mind you're mixing african and NW cichlids. Different water requirments. They may seem peaceful, but they can be territorial.

They live in rivers in africa, not lakes, and that is what makes them seem to be NW. They are closely related to jewel cichlids, their larger aggressive cousin
