    Bought them as Laetacara Cachoeira Do Arari.
    It was a wrong shipment to Singapore.

    These babies are at most an inch big.

    Read that they belong to the Curviceps family.

    Here are some pictures.

    In holding tank.


    Released into tank.

    Nice, Nick. Something you certainly dont see that often.
    Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.

    Could they be juvenile sp. 'buckelkopf'?

    Here's some info from the net.

    With the lateral line bending into the cheek area and the lavender color, I think I can safely says that these fellows are Laetacara Sp. Buckelkopf

    What a beauty!!! Curviceps is a species, not a genus right?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    They were from C328. It was from a wrong shippment.

    Don't think there's more of it.

    Cheers,
    Yes benny, that is correct.

    I managed to get some confirmation on their ID in another foreign website.
    Yes, they are most likely sp. buckelkopf
