Can anyone ID this fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just got my first 3 Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids recently. They are super small, but these are the fish that I wanted when I first got my tank. I am sooo happy to finally have them!
 
I am working on getting my 50 gal together so i can get some...i cant wait! although, theyre kind of hard to find where i live...

They were hard to find here too!
 
tropical Fish distributor (TFD) in Ohio has these in all the time..

I bought a few a couple months back, but mine didn't make it.. Actually, the ENTIRE fish shipment didn't make it about after a week.. don't know what happened, but the first batch from them was great.
 
My favorite of all dwarf cichlids....

They are very hard to find here in Socal as well, but I was fortunate enough to come across this guy at a LFS one day

They are very personable, he would always swim up to the front of the tank and flash his fins at me or beg for food at the edge of the water.

Sorry for crappy cell pics :/
