Turquoise/false firemouth cichlid

[HalfMoon B]

Anyone have any?
I know they are sand suffers and you don't an odd number of non paired...
But how would they do with other cichlids?
TIA

I have no experience or have known anyone to own one, they are not commonly seen around here.

I have done some research, but you can't always believe wht you read on the internet!

Never heard of a fish by that name. Sand sifters are generally pretty mellow with other species, but it also depends on your tank size. Most Geophagus grow pretty large.

From what I have found they do NOT do well with their own kind, unless it's a mated pair, but I have found anything on compatibility. Going by that, if they are cichlids, I assume a mated pair wouldn't tolerate others in their space very well...

It's not a Geophagus.
