Its amazing that mine lives peacefully with 11 other fish! I am glad that it does. Thanks for the post, I love these guys.

Also, I thought I would add this. The Red Terrors where I live look like this....

This is a male. The females dorsal fin is usually back or mostly black.

All so American cichlds change color a lot. The bright red is the breeding colors. They will be less colorful whne stressed or with out a mate. Some times lone cichlds will be light color but when with tank mates they will color up to show off how domanite they are.

I have two of them, male and female.

do you have any pics of the beast at full adult hood?

Thank you for pointing out the differences. I have seen several people on other sites list Red Terrors and I noticed some pictures look like your picture and others look like Rachaels. I never looked at the lines and the dot until you pointed it out.

lol hard to believe thats a 2 year old + fish haha sooooo slow growing
Had two but one of them vanished "guessing jumped out and dog found it"

top one looks like a Mayan to me i have one that looks exactly like it
