Hey, my wife and I were at the PVAS meeting last night and she bought at the mini-auction three Cichlids that I believe are Pearlscale Cichlid (Herichthys carpintis - "escondido").

I don't have a pic yet, but they look like 1.5 inch versions of the fish at this link.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this fish.

Thanks!

Chuck,
I have had this fish in the past. I kept him with a JD, Kraussi, Loisellei, Salvini and a Bleekeri. He was an aggressive fish that held his own at the very least. They're a tough fish. What are you keeping them with? What size tank?
Here are a few pictures.
