Has anyone got Firemouth Cichlids?

Just wandered if anyone here has any of these fish and if you would like to share tips on care, feeding and behaviour of these beauty's

I have had a male and female pair since September 23rd and find them quite interesting, they have a nice colour and don't seem to aggressive with my other fish.

Hope you aren't attached to your danio or barbs. If your signature is properly up to date you will be not seeing the danio or barbs as the Firemouths grow. Firemouths, as they begin to get older start getting MUCH more aggressive and get to 4 inches, eatting pretty much any fish that will fit in their mouth. The tank is overstocked, so it may be just as well that the danio and barbs will be missing soon. (Sorry to be so blunt, but that is the honest truth as given by me in all my posts)

Best of luck and have a great day.

my pair of male and female firemouths just seem to ignore the other fish - I am very pleased with them, will be getting a bigger aquarium when buy my first house early next year.

i do hope firemouths don't eat any of Barbs, the two green barbs are very small, other 4 tiger Barbs are a lot bigger but would easily be a snack - but Firemouths ignore and swim happily with all of my inhabitants... I keep them well fed!
