Sorry about the m's lol!!

I was thinking red striped eartheater?

 

[Brilliant_Barbs_21]

I agree. The red striped eartheater closely resembles it.

 

[Cichlid ism]

It looks like a geophagus surinamensis.

 

[Ottermus]

Thanks very much

Yeh the photo doesn't so him justice, he's got bright blue/green spots all down his sides forming lines from head to tail.

They are quite striking to look at. I wish I had the room for one myself.

Is that your only one cause they do well in community setups.

 

[Ottermus]

Yes he's the only one I have, only problem with him he's a bit boisterous at times

What do you have in the tank with it now?

 

[Ottermus]

Parrot fish, convict, krib and 5 tiger barbs.

 

[Ottermus]

And a fire mouth

 

[cbourg746]

That's a heck of a mix!

 

[Ottermus]

Yea true, most if the time they're fine, just get the odd bit of pushing now and again. The parrot fish seems to be the boss of the tank I would say!
We rescued the convict recently and so far so good.

Give it some time that convict will take over the tank... esp if you give it a mate!
