Polleni Cichlid

Can anyone give me some info on these fish, i saw one available at a local fish store and really liked it, any info is greatly appreciated

I don't know a lot about them but I do know they are from Madagascar, they grow quite large, about a foot, and they are actually big enough to be considered a food fish for human consumption.
They are peaceful but require huge tanks, like an Arowana.
Hope this helps?

I bought six juveniles through Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish. This is my dream cichlid. I've wanted one since the previous Millenium. These pictures are of my dominant female. Her name is 'Glory'.
