i found this while just looking around on cichlid forum. its called the Microdontochromis rotundiventralis. it doesnt give any info about it but by the shape of the body it looks like a sandsifter. what is it?
nano sandsifter???

Yeah these are great fish Austin if you can land some do so.. Eddie at Bluegrass has a colony and he isn't letting them go with out breeding them first i so want a colony of them very badly.. I believe they are a sand sifting mouth brooder and do quite nicely in a colony and stay fairly mid sized 3 to 4 inches really not overly aggressive and look more like a sardine with hues of coloration.. a beautiful fish..

Seems a few sites I read say it used to be classified as Xenotiliapia, or at least there was some confusion among the genuses.

so are can they be kept in smaller tanks than the typical sandsifter since they are smaller. idk.
I wouldn't at least a 30gal long would be minimal or better yet if you can get a 33gal long would be sweet it is the same footprint of a 55gal in length wise..
ah. that would be nice to have. cuz i dont like to have a tall tank. that would be fun. im assuming you have to special order
