Black with idridesent gold flakes Madagascar Cichlid?
I recently got a 29g tank and went to my favorite pet store (not a big corperation) and asked about different fish. And the fish guy told me about a madagascar cichlid that grows fairly small at least for a 29g tank, and he said it was very agressive and its turns smut black with iridescent gold flakes (accents) coverign the body. I was wondering if anyone knew anymore about these fish and what might be some compatiable tankmates ( such as fish & inverts). I believe this cichlid likes its water to be similar to a blackwater like discus i think the fish guy said.
Any feedback is welcome  |

Well I think the guy at the fish store needs to do some reading as these fish will get up to 12 inches.

Thanks, The fish is around 2.5 inches now and they have had him for a few years now.
So are they a slow growing fish? |

No, if they were in a small tank that long they are probably stunted. They may recover or may not.
