DWARF FLAG RAMS --- Rare Fish

MADDOG
in Freshwater

Featured Replies

My Dwarfg flag rams are 1 year old now (AEquidens Curviceps). About 5cm --- 2 inches long. These fish were one of the rarest fish to find in the world in the 60s and 70s .I could not believe my eyes when I saw a pair in our local fish shop (WAINUIOMATA) $7 each. This Cichlid does not tear out plants --- Is great for community tanks --- and is not agressive but a little shy. Quite colourful as well.

So maybe not so rare now.

By The Way I have 1 female and 1 male. (they grow to about 3inches)

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THESE FISH AND DOES ANYONE HAVE THESE FISH.

AND

HAS ANYONE BREED THESE FISH.

I Would like to here from you if you have DWARF FLAG RAMS.

Thanks

PETER.

    (Aequidens Curviceps) Dwarf flag cichlid or Sheepshead Acara are not all that rare now. I had a couple of pairs that were breeding for a while but gave them away.

    Hutt Pet Centre has a few of them and there are a few people over your way in WOA who breed them.

    They are a neat little fish.

    Dave Walker was breeding these by the thousands a few years ago. Not known them to be rare, I always thought they were available quite readily, but possibly they were back then.
