do you all think if i put them in with my fronts that are still about an inch long in a 75g tank would they be alright in there for awhile? IM thinking about purchasing some from my lfs this weekend, theyre about an inch and a half

I really don't know how they'd do, I don't have any experience to speak of with them.

But I have some sad news with mine. I lost one today. It was beaten up pretty badly during the night and I moved him this morning, but he didn't make it. The bigger one had been chasing it around quite a bit. I thought 75 gallons would be plenty of room to escape and have territories, but they are so aggressive to each other -- even at their size -- 1.5 to barely 2 inches. Sad

Sorry about the bad news Betty. Yes, they are very aggressive to each other and need a big tank with a lot of hiding spots. I have a group of 5 in my 125g with my Tropheus. They are in there now since about 5 years and still chase each other when they meet by accident. These fish are certainly not for for a smaller tank even though they only grow to about 4 inched.

Hey Ray, I'd love to see some pictures. How many did you get?

The easiest way is to upload them to a photo hosting site like photobucket.com. I'll be happy to help if you need it, but it's not to difficult too figure it out after you create an account there.
