With its unique body shape and engaging behavior, this cichlid is a standout choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Origin: Hailing from the freshwater lakes and rivers of Central America, particularly in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, these cichlids are accustomed to warm and tropical environments. Their natural habitat influences their vibrant coloring and active nature. Feeding: This species is omnivorous and enjoys a diverse diet. Provide a balanced mix of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and occasional vegetable matter to ensure optimal health and coloration.
