Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja Two Barred Cichlid 5cm

Overview: Discover the striking beauty of the Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja, a captivating freshwater species known for its vibrant colors and distinctive two-bar pattern. With its unique appearance and lively behavior, this cichlid makes an excellent addition to any advanced aquarium enthusiast’s collection.

Origin: Native to Central America, specifically Honduras and Nicaragua, the Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja thrives in warm, tropical waters. Its natural habitat includes slow-moving rivers and lakes with sandy substrates and ample hiding spots among rocks and vegetation.

Feeding: These omnivorous cichlids are not picky eaters, readily accepting a diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. Offering a varied diet ensures optimal health and coloration.

Tank Mates: While generally territorial, Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja can coexist with other robust Central American cichlids of similar size. Careful consideration should be given to tank mates to prevent aggression, especially during breeding periods.

Aggression: As with many cichlid species, the Two Barred Cichlid can display territorial behavior, particularly during breeding. Providing ample hiding spaces and establishing territories can help mitigate aggression. Keep an eye on tank dynamics to ensure harmony among inhabitants.

Experience Level: Due to their territorial nature and specific care requirements, the Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarium enthusiasts. Familiarity with cichlid behavior and a well-maintained aquarium setup are crucial for their thriving health and vibrant colors.

Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water conditions is essential for the well-being of Cichlasoma Bifasciata Vieja. Aim for a temperature range of 76-82°F (24-28°C), pH between 7.0-8.0, and moderate hardness. Regular water testing and consistent water changes are key to creating an optimal environment for these stunning cichlids.
