    What size tank do you have it in?

    Leopard cichlid (Cyrtocara/Haplochromis polystigma)
    They get around 10" and will need at least 50 gallons for a single specimen, but ideally, you should have 1 male and 2 - 3 females which means at least a 150 - 200 gallon tank.
    Very aggressive and will kill smaller fish. Will also kill other males of the same species or closely related species.
