Laetacara curviceps

I finally got some pictures of the little one. Don't mind the reflections...

The tank:

Looks more like a Laetacara dorsigera ... I can't quite see the edging on the back half of the dorsal fin. If it's reddish/orange, it's a L. dorsigera. If it's blueish/white, it's a curviceps. Most 'curviceps' in the states are actually dorsigera, as they are easily bred in the Florida fish farms where the curviceps have to be imported from Asian fish farms or the wild.

Interesting... it's red/orange indeed. Thanks.

Nice little cichlid! How old/big is it?

I've got a pair in my 55.. they were (along with my baby silver angels, baby keyholes, and tetras) trying to eat my newly introduced cardinal tetras when they physically could not.

other than that, great dwarf cichlids

Thanks.

I got it two weeks ago +/-... It's about 2", maybe a little less. Just a little guy.

Thanks, I agree... Before I picked this one up, I overlooked dwarf species a lot... I really didn't like them. Now, after having this one for a little while, I can see they have all the personality and intelligence of most cichlids, all bundled into a little fish. It's really quite cool.
