I have just seen a beautiful little cichlid, body purplish in colour,
yellow
fins, (dorsal especially) , and blue eyes. Shape much like a convict.
The
shop says it's a red head cichlid, A quick google search showed
pictures of
adult fish that looked totally different. The fish I saw was 3-4 cm
long.
Are they correct? and if so would they be OK with Firemouths, Blue
Acaras
and a Green Terror female? Again my search re behaviour gave differing
views on temperament

Thanks

What is it's scientific name? Cichlasoma synspilum, or Vieja synspila

However, if it's a hybrid, then temperament prediction will likely not be
very reliable. That's the nature of hybrids (what little 'nature' they
have in them ;~).
