Bujurquina oenolaemus is a small acara-like cichlid from a restricted range in Bolivia. The fish have only been found in Rio Aguas Calientes, a thermal river with water temperatures up to 100 - 105F (38 - 41C). Due to ornamental fish exports from Bolivia being restricted, and the rumor that this hot spring is now polluted, it's quite possible that these fish are endangered or worse in their natural habitat.
I was lucky enough to snag a small group from Kevin at Tangled Up In Cichlids back in August. They quickly got to work bullying and harassing one another as they established territories in their new home.
