amatitlania

I got a group of these a while back at a club meeting. They were very small and I've been growing them out for a while. Out of a bag of 8, I ended up with one female and 7 males! I had been keeping them in a 29 to see how they paired up. I had a bunch of jewel cichlids growing out with them...
