Help A Guy Out With His Cichlid!

... and which, according to a quick google, is sometimes still sold under the old synonym Nannacara taenia, which would explain where I got taeniatus from.

So it is African, small, and a diligent parent - awesome, thanks for the help guys!

Any idea how I would go about finding him a lady friend?

Ah, yes - the joys of internet misinformation!

Now I know what it is I've been able to look it up in several good books - looks as though I've given it pretty much the correct care purely by accident all these years.

What would your opinions be about keeping a spawning pair with corys? I'm a bit concerned they might have a go at them if they get territorial when breeding.

in my experience with SA dwarf cichlids there fine with cory when spawning at worst there will be a small amount of chasing
having said that all fish are different but if the tank is big enough i cant see any problems
