Green Dwarf Distichodus

Remarks: Green Dwarf Distichodus (Distichodus teugelsi) are a peaceful African characin with shiny green scales and a friendly face and personality. This species rarely exceeds 3" in length, making them perfect companions for dwarf cichlids from West Africa, such as Nanochromis splendens, Hemichromis spp. Jewel Cichlids, and Kribensis. While larger Distichodus spp. have reputations for acting aggressively towards each other, this species is small enough that you rarely see any harm done during their quarrels.
