Description
Remarks: Sieve Cichlids (Chiapaheros grammodes) are sometimes called “Mini-Dovii” and behave very similarly to the larger Wolf Cichlid. They should be kept with fish larger than themselves to avoid aggression. They get their name from the many red dots on their body – like the holes of a sieve.
