Slightly larger choices are Laetacara curviceps (the old flag cichlid), but they're about 3 inches and impossible to sex (it's the old flowing/longer fins, but they're much less noticable than on your bolivians). I had a pair for about a year that never spawned. They got along well, so it could have been two of the same sex or simply that they needed more time...very nice fish though. Eric

The only problem is that you might have to order them, I haven't seen any in a store before. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Perhaps a pair of Gold Rams? German Blues? How about a pair of Keyhole Cichlids? I head keyholes are very peaceful, almost timid even, and would fit well in with what you already have! Very attractive fish as well, would accent your Bolivian Rams nicely. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames
