Hi Holly,

Welcome to GSAS. Glad you got one of the keyholes. A friend of mine donated
them. They were so gentle, they were being harassed by his other cichlids so
needed new homes. I had them for couple weeks in a planted thank and indeed
they are very well behaved but as you say rather shy at first. Soon as he
gets used to your tank, he will get more color.
Hope you and Ben can come to the Christmas party.
June
