I am a bigger FW fish. I get about 10" and do best in tanks 55g+. I am a Central American cichlid. MY main colors are, blue, black, green, and brown. I have a red stripe down the top of my dorsal fin. People like to feed me feeder fish but it's really not natural for me. My teeth are in my throat, not my mouth. So I am best suited for insects and crustaceans. I am extremely common in the aquarium trade. I am usually sold quite small (1") and cost about $2-3. Oh and I like to box (hint hint)

Jack Dempsey!

fire eel!
 
I am a BIG cichlid. I am an American. I get about 1 1/2'. I have an amazing pattern. I am mostly brown with black. I have a few names, one is that of a cat. I need a pretty darn big tank, most recommend a 125g+ for one of me. I am often sold very small at LFS and people are sometimes not informed of my adult size. Meow...
 
Oops, I didn't really know what exactly a Raphael cat was, a just saw something about one on a cichlid website. False advertising!
 
I wouldn't have gotten that. I've never heard of that fish. Looks like I have more research to do, lol.
