Cichlasoma Ellioti Spot Cheek Cichlid 5cm

Overview: Cichlasoma Ellioti, commonly known as Spot Cheek Cichlids, are a delightful addition to any aquarium. With their distinctive spot patterns on their cheeks and radiant hues, they bring an instant burst of color to your underwater world.

Origin: Hailing from the freshwater habitats of Central America, particularly in rivers and lakes, these cichlids thrive in warm, tropical environments. Their natural surroundings inspire the lively and engaging behavior that makes them a joy to observe.

Feeding: These omnivorous beauties have an eclectic palate. Satisfy their dietary needs with a balanced mix of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen treats. A varied diet contributes to their health and enhances their vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates: While Cichlasoma Ellioti can be territorial, they generally coexist well with other peaceful cichlid species of similar size. Opt for tank mates that share their preference for warm waters and have compatible temperaments to create a harmonious aquatic community.

Aggression: Moderate aggression is typical for this cichlid, especially during breeding periods or while protecting their territory. Adequate hiding spots and a well-designed tank layout can help mitigate conflicts among tank inhabitants.

Experience Level: Perfect for intermediate aquarists looking to elevate their hobby, Cichlasoma Ellioti Spot Cheek Cichlids present a manageable challenge. With proper care and attention to their social dynamics, you’ll find these cichlids to be rewarding and fascinating companions.

Water Parameters: Maintain a stable aquatic environment by keeping the water temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH levels in the range of 6.5-7.5, and moderate water hardness. Regular water testing and routine maintenance ensure optimal conditions for the health and well-being of your Spot Cheek Cichlids.
