Thanks Richard. I already have a few. Just that I wanted 'em as soon as I heard they were 3". Never seen one that small. I cant stop saying gorgeous now. L-)

Thanks to Shane's article, I didnt give away some Convict Cichlids I had.

They are very nice! Do you know how much is true about the story that they can lower the ph of a tank quickly? (supposed to be from some kind of stomach acids or something)

I dono how true / untrue it is. People who have kept this species for a longer period (got my first C.chaca end 2009) or kept 'em with other fish might have something more to narrate.

Very nice fishes , I used to keep a 8'' one some time back. I'm in singapore and strange enough I haven't seen this fish for a long time even though the countries they are from are pretty near. Which is the most commonly imported species?

I am in South India. :d No importing. Just the transporting of fish from the north as it native to the northern part of India.

I dono 'bout the other species though.
