Hi irja, welcome to the apisto forum. The Butterfly Cichlid is more commonly called "Ram" or "Ramirezi" in English speaking countries. Whatever name is used it is a very popular species worldwide. This is not a true Apistogramma species. There are too many differences, both in morphology and behavior. Presently, it is listed as Mikrogeophagus ramirezi in most scientific and hobby literature.
