Biotodoma cupido
Status within Australia: Colonies present but no observed breeding behaviour.
Other names: Cupid cichlid, Greenstreaked eartheater.
Breeding Behaviour: Substrate spawners.
Comments: There appears to be at least a couple of colonies of cupido being kept by hobbyists here (they are extremely rare and expensive), although it is unsure if there is only the one variant or several present in the country.
