I've never kept them but i know they're dwarf cichlids. from what i've read they're supposed to be one of the hardiest dwarf cichlids and also one of the most colorful. they should be okay in your tank depending on what else you have in there. They look awesome, i'd definitely buy one in a second if a lfs sold em.

Good choice there - I think those fish are great looking. I could not find any locally and went with Bolivian Rams instead. But the apistos were way up on my list.

yeah colours are great on them, just lucky my lfs store stocks them.
