Bolivian Red Point, anyone?
Anyone here experienced with these? I saw them a while back and looked a bit like convicts but not as round. Also did some reading on them and it is claimed they are peaceful and grow only up to around 3" which makes it appealing for me to keep.
Can they be kept in a group?
Species tank?
Easy to keep?

Ehh.....Honduran Red Point?
Never heard of a Bolivian Red Point but an HRP is a related species to a convict. Grows in the 4" range.

Oops, got the countries mixed up 
Yes, I meant Honduran Red Point.
I'm wondering if they can be kept as a group in a tank?

I have a pair of them. They are still pretty new to me, but they are already paired off and the male is pretty aggressive towards any other fish in the tank.

Those have been classified and are now Amatitlina siquia just as an FYI. 
What size tank are you trying to keep these in? They are pretty aggressive when spawning and towards conspecifics.

Do you have a taxa reference for the that? I thought the HRP had been determined to be different than A. siquia?

I'll have to see if I can find it, but I'm pretty sure they changed it. However I could be wrong. I've been seeing allot of fish labeled as Amatitlania cf. siquia "Honduran Red Point", that's what Rapps lists his as.

I was told that siquia and HRPs are distinctively different, and siquia is a newly described species

Could be, I thought sp. "Honduran Red point" was what they were and then got put into Siquia .

I was thinking a of trying a pair in a 20 long?
I was in one of the big LFS in central NJ today and they had the HRPs for 10 bucks a piece but they didn't look any different than the Convicts and they were acting as aggressive as the Convicts that were going for 1.50 a piece, I thought they were supposed to be on the peaceful side?

None of the Amatitlina are peaceful, they are all mean little turds! You might get away with a pair in a 20L for awhile, just keep the water clean.
