Cichlidfish that is a beautiful Nic. never seen that colouration before though, do you know the sex? the fins are telling me female, cause I can´t make out if there is spotted patterns in them. what do you think ?

and CJ be sure to show us a pic of your male when possible!

beautiful nics everyone, im proud we could get this many pages so far. I wasn´t even sure there would be many people here who kept them!

Thanks:) I think my nic is a female. She was brown when I bought her and really colored up after a month. She is about 3" I think.
 
Yeah, that is definitely a female cichlidfish, and a good looking one at that!
 
My female has grown quite a bit and I have only had her for a few months. I feel they have a pretty average growth rate (not crazy fast, but not super slow) as long as there not spawning and are getting their fair share of food.
 
I used to have a female that grew quite quickly from the 3" mark. my male right now eats a lot and is the boss of the tank. the only fish he is scared of is my Male Honduran Red Point thats currently spawning in a cave with the female HRP. so as long as he avoids that cave hes fine.

I like your substrate mix a lot. Glad the male made it through 3 days of shipping. I honestly was expecting to hear it was DOA.

Thanks. It's just a mix of sand and pea gravel, probably about a 80/20 mix. I was pretty relieved he showed up alive, as I was expecting DOA as well. He's pretty pale looking as of now but I'm hoping he will color up once he settles in and gets some good food in his stomach. I'll be sure to post pics soon...

JK, about how big is your male Nic?

My male HRP bullies my nic even though she is bigger.
