We received wonderful wild collected specimens of this mouthbrooding cichlid (the females orally broods the larvae and young fry) from Paraguay. This species attains a maximum length of about 9 cm only (standard length, with the caudal fin the maximum length is around 12 cm) and thus is one of the smallest members of the genus. We have three sizes in stock: 4-6 cm (just reaching maturity), 8-10 cm (adult) and 10-12 cm (show size).
For our customers: the fish have code 676751 (4-6 cm), 676753 (8-10 cm) and 676754 (10-12 cm) on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
