What am I?

Came across this and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on what it is. Very tiny, very aggressive. Owners thought it was of an african fish decent. I have no clue.

What do the pectorals look like?

try on the cichlid part of the site. I have seen these before but I can't remember the name for the life of me! Will try to find out...


I think it's a Teleogramma. Hope that helps

Hey Jayl, which lfs did you see him at? It looks really interesting.

Agreed that it seems to be the Teleogramma britchardi, a small (to 3 1/2") fish from rapid streams and rivers.
