Cichlasoma Dovii Wolf Cichlid 5cm

Overview: The Cichlasoma dovii, commonly referred to as the Wolf Cichlid, is a striking and robust freshwater fish known for its vibrant colors and distinctive markings. With its impressive size and bold personality, this species is a captivating choice for experienced aquarium enthusiasts.

Origin: Native to Central America, the Wolf Cichlid is found in the rivers and lakes of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Its natural habitat consists of rocky areas with ample hiding spots among submerged structures.

Feeding: As an omnivorous species, Cichlasoma dovii thrives on a varied diet. A combination of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms, and occasional vegetable matter ensures their nutritional needs are met.

Tank Mates: Due to its territorial nature and potential for aggression, it’s advisable to house the Wolf Cichlid in a species-only tank or with large, robust companions. Avoid pairing them with smaller or more passive fish to prevent conflicts.

Aggression: Known for its territorial behavior, the Wolf Cichlid can be highly aggressive, especially during breeding. Adequate space and well-defined territories can help manage aggression, and careful observation is crucial when introducing new tankmates.

Experience Level: Keeping Cichlasoma dovii requires a moderate to advanced level of experience in freshwater aquarium keeping. Owners should be familiar with managing large cichlids and have a good understanding of their specific needs.

Water Parameters: Maintaining water conditions close to their natural habitat is key. Aim for a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0, water hardness between 10-20 dGH, and a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C). Regular water testing and changes are essential to ensure optimal health and well-being.

Bring the captivating beauty and dynamic presence of the Cichlasoma dovii into your aquarium, and experience the joy of keeping one of Central America’s most fascinating cichlid species.
