Keyholes are awesome and peaceful cichlids.
they are probably the most underrated for being
versitile for a community tank. They are playful,
not picky about their food, eat flake off the surface,
pick at scraps from the bottom, and are fascinating
to watch as they comb the bottom for scraps...
they basically point downward at about a 20degree
angle, at about 1 cm above the gravel, pick, then dart
forward 2-4 cm, and repeat. vs other fish, which smothly
swim across the bottom, only to go into the gravel when they
see something they want. Keyholes, to a move-stop-pick-
move-stop-move-pick-stop-move- sequence.

I have never had one but have read that they are nice fish. I keep
severums, angels and kribs together with my gouramis.
