Remarks: Keyhole Cichlids (Cleithracara maronii ) are small, peaceful cichlid that enjoys being surrounded by schooling tetras. They have round bodies with a dark spot on their back and a dark stripe over their eyes. To keep them happy, give them plenty of driftwood mazes and some live plants, such as Amazon Swords, to provide additional cover.
