Came home yesterday to see one of my pairs of Cichlasoma sp. "La Palma" guarding eggs! I caught these guys December 2010 on my collecting trip to Uruguay. This is a species similar to Cichlasoma dimerus but found a couple hundred miles away from the nearest known location of C. dimerus. I've included some photos of where I caught them and as you can see its just a 2 acre mudhole. The male is about 2.5-3" and female 2.5". The male is the one showing off and chasing off the other tankmates while the female guarding the eggs. I'm planning on pulling the fry once they start wiggling
