Tank mates/dithers for Nannacara aureocephalus

[Livebearer Lady]

Guyana is the location for these cichlids but what else resides in their native waters, (rivers, streams) with them?
Anyone collecting in the last few years in Guyana?

As far as I know, N. aureocephalus doesn't exist in Guyana. It is only found in French Guiana.

sorry my bad. French Guiana is the location of these cichlids. So does anyone know what other fishes live with N. aureocephalus???

There are many aquarium fish found in French Guiana. I'll let you do the research. Go to Fishbase (http://www.fishbase.org) and make a search under "Information by Country/Island" (French Guiana) and subsection "Aquarium trade".

Thanks Mike, I will do that.
I ended up getting a dozen Nannostomus minimus from The Wet Spot. They were a By-catch that came in with some apisto's a month ago and sold them to me for REAL cheap!
Very fasinating fishes, and now are finally eating after 3 days of settling in. They were in one of their store-fronts display tanks and probably saw 50+ customers a day.
Nannacara fry are growing fast now and about the size of a small push pin at around 6 m.m.
