Are there any vibrant purple-violet color cichlids that are naturally purple.

That's my favourite colour so far haven't really seen too many purples just a few that were purple by chance.
 
I have three rustys and they start out like a golden brown really cool looking and slowly get a lavender body I like em
 
You can take a look at these guys unless you want to stick with Africans.

Hypselecara temporalis aka chocolate cichlid

Acei are purple. Especially if they are the less dominant in the tank. If they are the alpha fish they are almost black.
