CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

i picked up 2 last week and i have been happy w/ them in my 55g grow out tank. they get along w/ everyone in there as of yet. they seem to be always watching me. i  up on them and they say they enjoy watching us as much as we enjoy them. i also understand these cute lil' fellas can mean and nasty but hey thats part of the hobby. anyone else have these?

Not one that I know.  Where are they from?

Bumblebees's are among the largest of the mbuna species and get fairly aggressive as they grow. Males transition to darker coloration as they mature. How many cichlids are in your 55gal?
