Any one have info on these guys? A local breeder is liquidating his stock, so I asked him if he was going to be selling peaceful w. african or s. american dwarfs. He responded that he had Anomalachromis thomasi, Nanacara taenia, and Pelmatochromis nigerdorsalis. I've kept A. thomasi before, and have kept sp. Nanacara, but I know nothing about these guys.

How big do they get? And how aggressive are they? The photos look nice, so they're attractive, and apparently not common (not that this guy keeps common, LOL, I am so ridiculously jealous of him and his fish room :P). I'm tempted to get them but I've done A. thomasi before and know they'd work in my set up. No infinite funds or tanks here as I'm already purchasing some other fish from him too.

So help! Too many choices :nilly:
 
The information I could find (which not in English) said these guys get 5-7 inches, so I decided they were too big. I went with the N. taenia instead... for a completely different tank. Stupid MTS, LOL!
