Great!  The whole group is very personable & happy to see me whenever I walk by their tank.

What size tank are they in? Will they end up with just a pair in the tank or can they tolerate others? You make it difficult to stay with Africans if you post stuff like this. Those are really great looking fish. Please stop posting this stuff so I don't have to set up more tanks.

They are currently in a 90gal. (48x24footprint)

& yes this species can be kept in groups... they are one of the milder Central species.

Thanks!
