    Normally the female Chipokee looks like yours but could be that they are not mature, Males are much darker.

    If they are M chipokee they are not friendly at all, I have had a couple of them in my cichlid comunity in the past and they were the most aggressive from the whole set up.

     Nice brood Charles. The colours are wonderful and their bellies so full ..... !!!!!!.  Yes Ivan I agree with you there. Keeping these chiclids in a community tank is quite challenging.
