It looks like a krib in a way, but it's an acara.... anyone ever had one????
Give me the low down on them....

While I've never kept them, I do remember there was a talk on them in
Fishroom many years back. Here's the log:

One of the most salient points in that talk in terms of searching for info
is that the old name was Aequidens dorsigera (dorsigerus, dorsiger). And
even older, Acara dorsigera. So make sure to look for all names to
maximize info gathering. The Laetacara genus was not adopted until the mid
1980s, so if you looking in older books, use Aequidens (or Acara for even
older books). There's also general husbandry recommendations down at the
bottom of the talk. You'll have to excuse all the asides in the talk. We
were feeling frisky that day on Fishroom.

I also noticed on cichlidae.com that the dorsiger spelling is used for
their species listing under Laetacara, so also include that in any
searches. Here's their page, but it's just a pictu

This fish is also similar to the flag cichlid, Laetacara curviceps. So if
you read up on that fish, it should also give you some ideas on husbandry.
