what's the absolute smallest cichlid (fullgrown) you know of?

something that's available to buy.......

this wasn't a double post, i might be looking for 2 seperate things. some cichlids are pretty drab or just striped. i want to know which is the smallest you can buy with no regard to colors.

(Neolamprologus) Multi's, I believe. Lake Tanganyika is home to both the largest and smallest cichlids.

Ocellatus is also a shell dweller that reaches about 2". Brevis are a little larger but are also a possibility.

Amazing when you compare them to the Emperor (probably the largest) that reaches 3 feet :)
