Laetacara Dorsigera

Do any of you guys currently have a tank with this specific dwarf cichlid?

[luvmycichlids]

Or maybe you know of someone who keeps these guys?

Thanks Troy. I'm actually looking to re-home my little guy but ONLY to someone that already keeps them.

[troy tucker]

Why do you wan't to rehome it? and only one? how big is it?

[luvmycichlids]

He is way to shy and needs company of his own kind for he wont hide as much. This is a "shy" species of fish that do best with others of their own kind to combat their shy nature. That's why I'm trying to find someone that already has a set up with several ot this specific type of fish in it. My little guy is fully grown at 3".

I seen its a low light fish and it likes cover. (floating plants) where did you get it from?

[luvmycichlids]

LFS close to a year ago I think. Amount of light & cover does not change things for this guy; I've tried everything. I strongly think he would be happy and his behavior would become normal if he was in a set up with other Dorsigera.

Re: Laetacara Dorsigera

You try putting him in a black water setup with floaters, driftwood, peat moss substrate, and IAL?
