The two males discussing who is really the boss (below):

The Haplochromis sp. "Ruby" is a herbivorous (algae grazer) cichlid found in Lake Kyoga and Lake Nawampasa.  The male grows to about 3.5 inches (9 cm) long with the female staying slightly smaller.  I have found these cichlids to be relatively peaceful.
