Very nice. How is he aggression wise? I've always wanted to get one of those for in my 120 gallon. But when it had all the hyper aggressive Centrals I was afraid he'd get bullied. Now it's semi aggressive Madagascars and West Africans and I'm afraid he'd be too aggressive.

he is a little aggressive. he mainly chases smaller fish, and kinda harasses larger ones, but nothing that i would consider fighting. they are a bit different then a CA cichlid, so their fighting styles are different. i think this is why i seem to be able to get away with them in CA tanks. i really don't know how he would act with similar fish from africa with him.

Yes, 2 types small spot & 1 type large spot.

This cichlid is one of the most primitive examples of cichlids still in existence today.
