These cichlids are absolutely stunning and may make a good addition to your cichlid tank. They grow to be about 8 with the females staying a bit smaller. As an omnivorous fish, they will readily accept pellets and will enjoy being fed frozen foods on the side such as bloodworms. Since they do grow to be large, they should be kept in at least a 75 gallon aquarium. They should be kept with other large, aggressive cichlids due to their territorial nature.All pictures shown are for illustration purposes only.
