Laetacara Araguaiae

[Dominic]

Does anyone know anything about these fish or have kept these?

Are they sensitive to water and ph changes? Will they be okay in a co2 tank? do they munch on shrimp? Any special requirements?

Any input is welcome Thanks

Hi all,
I've never kept them but I think they are pretty similar to Laetacara dorsigera or L. curviceps to keep. You may be able to find some more about them if you search under Laetacara "Buckelkopf", because they were only described fairly recently.

do they munch on shrimp?

I would think so, they ae very keen on snails and much less picky than Apistogramma.

Any special requirements?

Not really, just water that isn't very hard, a planted tank and a good diet.
