Ref: - these are my A Multispinosa. I think these are a great little CA Cichlid, very underated. They show lovely yellow jackets when spawning, peaceful and ideal for smaller tanks.
I've had some of these for a while. I bought them not knowing anything about what I was doing - I asked for severums, but after a while - slow as I am - it clicked. I asked around and was told they are commonly known as Rainbow Cichlids. Does this sound right?
I dumped a vid on Youtube if you want to see them.

I wanted to get a pair out of them, but I only ever saw pairing activity in the community tank. I put the four of them into their own tank and they went crazy. They'd race around the tank and smash into the walls. They killed a pleco I put in with them and basically went nuts.
They settled back down when I put them back into the community tank.
Go figure.
I never got them to reproduce.
