This fish is one I give 100% credit to kisskiss girl on.

It's a checkerboard cichlid. I wasn't impressed with them in the store, but she talked me into trying them.

They're small, peaceful, and kind of funny. They swim in a jerky darting motion...then stop and hover like a bumblebee only to dart off again. I now have four sharing the 55g with my Discus.

Nice pic. They look pretty tiny. How big are they?

have they been bred in captivity?

They came from one of my FL suppliers. I have always had really good luck with them in discus or community tanks. 3" max. and they get more color when they get older. Cheap too.

As a matter of fact....

Mine are starting to get little blue flecks around the jaw area. Just noticed maybe 48 hours ago. Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
