Orinoco Dwarf Eartheater (Biotodoma wavrini)

Price range: $19.99 through $64.99

A peaceful medium sized cichlid found throughout the Rio Orinoco and Rio Negro drainages , the Orinoco Dwarf Eartheater (Biotodoma wavrini) is both beautifully marked and uncommonly seen in the hobby. A social species, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species. In the wild, this species inhabits shallow, warm, acidic waters and will do best when kept in similar conditions in the aquarium. A close relative of the more well known species in the genus Geophagus, they will sift through sand looking for food particles and are generally planted tank safe.
