What type of chiclid is this? I'd like to add it to my collection.

Pundamilia Nyererei, they can be pretty aggressive, but I've had one in my hap and peacock tank for over a year and he's a model citizen.

When I had mine in my mix tank he never colored up to his full potential. If you re planning on putting one in with your existing stock I wouldn't plan on him looking quite like that picture

I'm sure you would need a dominant male with a few females to get that kind of coloration.

I had these in 3 scenarios:
1-species tank with females, best coloration. Of course they looked most like the pic when actually spawning.
2-all-male tank...fish was pale.
3-mixed gender mbuna tank...fish turned almost black and females languished after a couple of years.

they did best in a singles species tank?

I would think that they would, especially if it was just one male and 8 or 10 females. The male would always be on display for the females and no other fish to stress him out or pick on him.

Like night and day, yes.

Makes sense.
