Well I knew this day would come, and I'm sad to do it, I have two Emperor cichlids that I need to re-home. They are too big for the tank I have them in and unfortunately I won't be getting another tank for some time. They are the same age, I've raised them from about 1.5" and they are now both 11-12". I got them in early 2012 so they are about 1 year old.

They will eat pretty much anything but they love large cichlid sticks and frozen food. They need to be in a tank of at least 400g, for now, they will outgrow that size eventually.

I won't ship them so you will have to be in the Denver, Colorado area. I'm less worried about the price than I am about getting them into a good home, make me an offer.

Scientific Name: Boulengerochromis microlepis

Couldn't find the right supplies to ship these and feel that they would make it there alive. Then another local person with a 450g custom tank came and got them. So happy they are going to a good home. :) :)
