Nice fish. FYI Laetacara sp. Buckelkopf was scientifically described and named L. araguaiae.

thank you for the scientific name I am new to the fish scene. Alot of times when i buy fish they usually use the common names.
I have some of the Laetacara Araguaiae "Buckelkopf" too - I think they're great little fish. What are yours like in personality?
Mine are very inquisitive and seem to use the entire tank, not just the bottom. They always want to know what I'm doing (i.e. - are you going to feed me?) They will eat anything I put in the tank, and also are amazing snail hunters. They are relatively peaceful - the male will chase the female away at feeding time, but will defer / submit to the male Apisto. The female doesn't bother anyone. Neither bother any other non-cichlid in the tank. They just spawned and are chasing the Apisto more, however still not aggressive (crossing fingers). They will only chase other fish when they come near the leaf that the eggs are on.
You don't read nearly as much about the Araguaie, so I'd love to hear about yours.
Also, what water parameters do you have yours in. Do you do any live plants?

Do you still have some of them? It's been years that I'm looking for those.
