The Giraffe Cichlid gets its name from the markings along its body that give it some of the same colorations as a giraffe. The Giraffe Cichlid gets to around 25cm and around 17cm in females, this fish is very aggressive and only one male of its species should be in the tank at a time. It is also good not to keep the Giraffe Cichlid in a tank with other fish that are in the process of spawning as this Cichlid will eat any fry fish it comes across. You definitely need a lot of space when housing this fish as it is a very active swimmer and will tend to get more aggressive if it is kept in a tank with too little space to swim around and live in.
