Bred on the west coast by our own forum moderator Harry tolen's pair and flown out to the east coast a few years ago. This is one of the nicest fish I have in my large collection.

It couldn't have gotten a better home. 11", you say? I'll try and measure mine and compare notes. How big a tank is yours in and what is the diet, by the way?
 
Harry its in 220gallons. He gets a very varied diet. The staple is Tetra cichlid sticks ( get them in a 3lb box) but it also gets HBH spirulina pellets, Wet thumb Aquatics spirulina stiks, HBH freeze dried krill, Tetra Color Bits, and frozen shrimp. Those are all my constantly stocked foods.
 
Just to compare notes...I keep mine (almost) alone in a 75g with two Aquaclear 500 filters. Staple diet is Wardley Shrimp Pellets, Tetra Color Bits, San Francisco freeze-dried plankton, and OSI spirulina pellets. The only tankmate is one Synodontis ocellatus, who (quite sensibly) spends most of the day in his ceramic pipe.

Does your 11" include the tail, or only go to the base of the caudal fin, by the way?
