  I'm writing with hopes that maybe you can help. I've had this fish for about 3 years that I didn't know what it was. So I went searching and found your website. The only thing I've been able to find that looks like him is a Keyhole Cichlid, however according to everything I've read about them, they are not supposed to be aggressive. Well the one I have is very aggressive. He has the same markings as a keyhole excepts he stays dark and turn light only when he’s scared and that’s how I can see the markings better. I've had to put him in a tank by his self because he kills everything. Its a beautiful fish and will only let me pet the top of him and no one else.. I know that sound crazy however, anyone else he will bite. Which doesn't hurt cause he has no teeth. I want to know what this fish is. I mean he will try to attack through the glass when he sees you coming. Is there any fish similar to the keyhole that he could possibly match .I can send a picture if that would help...Please let me know..

Thank You So Much. Michelle
