They are cool fish but can get nasty. My LFS had a full grown in there display tank. It started picking off tank mates 1 by 1 so they put it up for sale.
 
Opps know enough about tank size in regards to the size of fish, just wanted to know what kind he was so i could research him...
 
I have a large male venustus and 3 females in my 180 gal african tank. My male is almost 11" and absolutely beautiful. These are my favorite african cichlids that i own. They do tend to get agressive and they can and will eat any fish that will fit in their mouth. They will also try to eat fish that wont fit in their mouth lol.
