Aequidens curviceps or flag cichlid . dwarf cichlid from amazon

agree with Brian, nice fish

Right on i just check you dont know any info on them do you ?

thank u

like what? ... almost no sexual dimorphism ,if you do get a pair very easy to breed , good with a planted tank ,spawn on flat stones , cluster of up to 300 eggs , after fry hatch they are carried to pits and guarded .

Nice Kizel.. Brian sounds like a convict breeding..lol

WOw Brian sure have read his books! when i had mine he/she used to control my FH it was cool watching it. Brian Do u think about 2 of this would do fine in my planted tank with my angel?

Thnks are they rare i have never seen em around where i live before. like it says i saw him in the convict tank and liked the way he looked figuring it wasnt a convict bought him. $2.99 did i overpay ?

laetacara curviceps

well they are rare sometimes but i found mine in a ram tank when petsmart used to bring rams in also Curviceps but they clear all curvis and put rams!!

get him non-agressive tank mates, you can keep it just like other dwarfs,just like harvick explained it

Yea i just got him at a LFS so im gonna see if they can get a couple more for me this one is a very interesting fish. Will he be fine in my American tank? or should he go in with the Ram tank once its up and running?

Chuck check the last picture out i know u want them lol

Hey, kizel was going on??

Hey mike this is the one i said i had bought with the convict

Nice find Robert.

id put it in ram tank , they are very peaceful cichlid and i dont know what you have in american tank but they would probably be harassed or worse killed

Yeah put it in with the Rams..

I have a Dempsey an oscar that big pleco and a convict. and does anyone have some suggestions of smaller americans i would be able to put in with them that dont get big but can hold there own with bigger fish???

festivum, rainbow, jurupari to name a few

thanks

sorry dan but i disagree on you suggestions..R kizel:most archocentrus could go( sajica, spirulum, etc, if you can get them)firemouth, salvini...quite limited..and remember, its always hard to introduce new cichlids in a tank with already established ones, especially with fish with attitude like yours!

Chuck, i misread the post. i meant that the curvicep should do ok with the fish i suggested. my bad

cool dan ,so for curviceps it sound good then

cool, i pay strict attention when you, Nate and others give advice. i would not have had a clue a year ago
