JRyan - 2014-08-03 So, I just got an eye-biter at a local pet store. interestingly enough the pet store clerk had it in with and labeled as a venustus cichlid. I knew right a way it was something unique. Anyway, now I have it in a tank by itself and am looking to add some fish mates from another tank I have. The fish I want to add are catfish so my question is whether or not the catfish I have, which are of multiple species, will be compatible with my compressiceps. Now the catfish are the same size or bigger so I know that part is alright but if anyone has any useful information for me I would much appreciate it.
joe - 2009-07-13 I have one of these, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell if it is male or female because I would like to breed them, but I don't know what sex I have

The Malawi Eyebiter is a real eye-catching cichlid, it's big, fast moving, and sports a bright metallic sheen in blue and red!

I have 2 malawi eye bites. They are housed with convicts, green terrors and red devils.
