i want to get them as wel.
In about a month i have a group of 8.

Al i know about them is that they are very easy going to each other.
And that they behave like most other Xeno's

Don't hesitate!
Definitively one of my favourite Xenotilapia.
Comparatively docile, with the possibility to keep a real big school, which looks great!
The lack of colour more than compensated by the nacreous blink.
With some dimmed light and other species from "low-light-region" (Paracyprichromis nigripinnis, ...)an eye candy!

Nice pickup, Jesper! They look a bit thin, but nothing that a couple of weeks of good feeding can't change. If you get a spare male at one point I could use one. My lone male decided to view the tank from the outside a couple of weeks ago :|
