We have about 12 left looking for a home , there an african cichlid that is mainly found in the rift river vally , being found in a wide range of ph 6.5-7.5 or higher some times making them a good candidate for about any cichlid tank including neutral ph south americans , these fish get to be about 4-6 " long with a deep red coloration the first pic is the mother and father on day one of free swimming fry , the parents were a little hormoned up form the spawn , so there showing off there color good

if you want one or a few let me know
 
They all were getting some red but all have homes now.
Look for a male , the females are drab unless hormonal due to breeding in which case there aggressive to say the least.
My male stays strawberry regularly , and really gets bringht when fed beef heart or feeders , the meaty and live foods bring out there wild side.
