I picked up a pair of dwarf cichlids from a lfs on a whim. I forget the name, but I found a picture of one in the banner of cichlids.com. Can anyone id that fish, I enjoy the two I have but would like to do some more research on them.

If it is the one in the banner next to the name it is an altolamp. calvus or comp. Pretty sure it is a calvus. Tanganykan cichlid from Africa.

Thanks, I'm 100% sure it is the same fish next to the name. Looks identical to mine.

if thats what it is there really cool fish. i had some before going strictly sa/ca. it will find a cave and attack anything that comes near it. mine died right before i gave him his own tank.

I will try to put up some pics...
I actually have them in with a few fish I'm growing out. Once the grow outs are moved, I might pick up a few more and try for some spawns.
