Clown Dwarf Cichlid
The Clown Dwarf Cichlid is often imported mixed with the Cockatoo and Agassiz's dwarf cichlids. It is distinctive for a black vertical stripe on the body and red-blue speckles on the gill cover. Because imports are scarce, it is not widely kept.
Pyramid Butterflyfish
Also called the Indian Silver-spot Butterflyfish, the Pyramid Butterflyfish has a broad white band across the middle of its body while the rest (except the caudal fin) is dark brown, and the tail is gray-white, making it very distinctive. However, because its coloration is not bright and differs from other butterflyfish, it is not kept very often.

Thompson’s Surgeonfish
Juvenile Thompson's Surgeonfish are blue-gray, and adults develop a white tail, but in both stages the species' most distinctive feature is a black spot on the back near the rear of the dorsal fin. Captive care requires a tank of at least 450 liters to give this active swimmer enough room.
