Mistake ?

[DXG]

Looking for a single fish to mix with parrots and earth eaters (and a fire eel), I saw this guy today labelled just as a "zebra chichlid". Assured by my LFS that he was quite mild and would mix fine with fish of same size, I bought him.

A quick bit of research makes me think this is not the case, please can someone confirm if this is a butterkofferi before I return him

Cheers

Hi DXG,

Is definitely a Butterkofferi

That is one fantastic fish you've got

take a look at the link below for a small bit of info....

Hoping it will be ok your tank just because would be a huge shame to let such a great fish go!!

I hope this helps

Thanks mate,
It's not the size as he's in a 140 gal tank. From what I've read, he'll kill everything else in the tank

He's just so nice though )
