Laetacara Thayeri Vs Laetacara Curviceps

[mancin]

A few weeks ago I had put in an order to my LFS to get a couple Laetacara Curviceps, as they stay relatively small and had some nice color. They called today and said they have the fish in stock, but their website reflects a Laetacara Thayeri. I can't seem to find much information on this fish online. It seems that it can get up to 6", which I think is going to be too large for my 55 Gallon considering I also have Angels in there. They do seem to be a bit less colorful and their markings are a little different, otherwise they do look very similar.

Anyone have experience with this fish?

Thanks nelly! I found another site last night that said the Thayeri get to about 8 inches. Far too big for my tank. I may ditch the idea of any Laetacara species all together and just do Angels after all.

That is just too bad. Maybe you could find another cichlid you would want. Mybe a keyhole. I'm not sure about keyholes and angles, but in the topic asking if they would go good together, I think the answer was that they would do fine together.
