Cichlasoma Nigrofasciatum Convict Cichlid 5cm

Overview: Meet the captivating Cichlasoma Nigrofasciatum, better known as the Convict Cichlid. This charming freshwater fish boasts distinctive black and white stripes, making it a standout choice for any aquarium enthusiast.

Origin: Hailing from Central America, specifically from Nicaragua to Costa Rica, the Convict Cichlid thrives in various freshwater habitats such as slow-moving rivers and ponds.

Feeding: A versatile eater, the Convict Cichlid readily accepts a diverse diet. From high-quality pellets and flakes to live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms, providing a balanced diet ensures their vibrant colors and overall health.

Tank Mates: While the Convict Cichlid can be assertive, careful selection of tank mates is crucial. Ideally paired with similarly sized and robust species, avoiding overly docile or long-finned companions will help maintain a harmonious aquarium environment.

Aggression: Known for their territorial nature, Convict Cichlids can display aggression, especially during breeding. Adequate hiding spots and a well-structured tank layout can help mitigate potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Suitable for aquarists with intermediate experience, the Convict Cichlid requires attention to tank dynamics and behavior monitoring. Their hardy nature makes them forgiving of minor fluctuations in water parameters.

Water Parameters: Maintaining water conditions close to their natural habitat is key. Aim for a pH range of 6.5 to 8.0, with a water temperature between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). Regular water testing and changes contribute to the well-being of these engaging cichlids.

Bring the allure of Central America into your aquarium with the captivating Convict Cichlid— a resilient and captivating addition for enthusiasts seeking an engaging and dynamic aquatic experience.
