SA Dwarfs- Laetacara Curviceps

Hello all,

I thought I'll post some pics of these fish, they seem to be quite scarce or I've just been blind to see them:
Male:


Female:


the pair:


They are currently in my lido 120 planted setup with some Neon tetras and Oto Cats. They are really peaceful, interesting characters.
I'll post some pics of the tank at a later stage. Excuse the poor pics, these were taken with my phone.

Regards
Martin

 

I love these small cichlids. Rams and Apistos dominate the 'genre', but there are other species with just as much reward, IMO.

 

Wait till they start spawning, they are really stunning little fish had a dozen in a 2m with adult chocolate cichlids , Uaru and big hoplo cats they used to stand spawn next to the big fish colourful gems .

 

Thanks for the reply guys, yes, mine have spawned and they are awesome parents. I really like these guys...
I just have a problem with them at the moment, they are both sick and I can't figure out why or what the disease is. I've posted a topic about this here.

 

where did you find them?

 

Found them at Birds for africa AKA mesh for africa aka fish for africa in Pomona, Kempton.

They ordered Apistogramma Borelli from their supplier and got these instead LOL

 

Thats a luck,never been there think i must take a turn

 

Make a turn if you can, they often have some scarce fish. If you like planted tanks they often have threadfin, t-tail and dwarf rainbow fish which I don't normally see in the JHB area. And I know they still have some Laetacara curviceps (labeled Borelli)

 

Nice catch!! Loving those.
