Hello, I have contacted you about other cichlid pages and have noticed
in the Misc Cichlids XXX that you have a 2 inch mystery cichlid. You
guessed a "Nicaraguan". But they
have larger eyes proportional to their bodies and their black marking is
horizontal with a large black blotch in the center. I believe the
cichlid you have pictured is Neetroplus nematopus. A quick note on them:
Males have fin extensions, are slightly slimmer than females and have a
slight nuchal hump. It is said that these fish pick parasites off of
Nicaraguan Cichlids in the wild. They grow to about 4 inches max. Are
found in lakes and graze on algae and vegetation and take krill, flake
and pellets readily. Though these cichlids are small, they wreak havoc
even in large aquariums. I collected my data from multiple sources but
my main source was the 1988 Tetra's Popular Guide to Tropical
Aquarium Fishes. By the way I'm 15 years old
A: Good catch, Ryan. I'm adding your
correction to Misc Cichlids XXX. Give yourself a gold star and
keep up the good work. LA
