'Alto Sinu') is a stunning, peaceful South American cichlid known for its shimmering golden-bronze body with blue iridescence, growing to about 6-8 inches, and famous for sifting sand through its gills; it's ideal for large community tanks with fine substrate and tankmates like silver dollars, requiring warm, soft, acidic water and a varied diet.
