What kind of fish is this (picture)

[awesum]

Can Someone please help me with this fish I saw on another forums which won't let me register because I use a free e-mail account?

What's kind of fish is this?
Where does it come from?
What can it eat?
What size will it grow to?
What is its temperment?
What are the water conditions?
Scientific name?
Common name?
Price?
Is it common or rare because I've never seen it?

this is in the frong forum. It is definately a cichlid. the pic is to fuzzy to tell but its either a sevrum or uraru

that is a Uaru amphiacanthoides. it's a south american cichlid that I think grows to around 8-10".

yeah i think jason is right it is a Uaru amphiacanthoides. Their natural environment is the soft acid waters of the Amazon river, but they tolerate just about any ph well. I know people who have spawned them successfully in ph’s ranging from 5.5 to 7.4. They do however like a warmer water temperature range of 75 degrees to 85 degrees with 81-84 degrees optimum.

Yup, its an urau, they are not rare or common, you have to look to find, most stores dont just stock them like they do severums.
