Like the title says. i am just wondering what the smallest species of fish are in this family of amphilophus?

Now that the smaller sandsifters were removed, I believe the smallest left in Amphilophus is lyonsi ...

There may be some other rare ones that I just haven't heard of, but lyonsi is the smallest I know of.

Hmmmmm...... I have both sagittae and amarillo over a foot.

I'd have to agree with lyonsi, but only because I can't think of anything else!
