Cichlasoma Lyonsi Lyonsi Cichlid 5cm

Overview:
The Cichlasoma Lyonsi Lyonsi, also known as the Lyonsi Cichlid, is a striking freshwater fish known for its vibrant colors and engaging personality. Originating from Central America, this cichlid species boasts a stunning appearance that makes it a sought-after choice among aquarium enthusiasts.

Origin:
Native to the rivers and lakes of Central America, particularly Honduras and Costa Rica, the Lyonsi Cichlid thrives in warm tropical waters. Its natural habitat consists of rocky areas with plenty of hiding spots and territories for establishing dominance.

Feeding:
This species is omnivorous, with a diet that includes high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and a variety of small invertebrates. Offering a balanced diet is essential for maintaining their health and vibrant colors.

Tank Mates:
While the Lyonsi Cichlid can be territorial, it generally coexists well with other medium to large-sized cichlids that share similar temperaments. Avoid keeping them with overly aggressive or excessively passive tank mates to ensure a harmonious aquarium environment.

Aggression:
Known for their assertive behavior, Lyonsi Cichlids may exhibit territorial tendencies, especially during breeding. Provide ample hiding places and territories to help mitigate aggression. Keep an eye on their interactions and be prepared to separate individuals if necessary.

Experience Level:
Intermediate to advanced aquarists will find the Lyonsi Cichlid a rewarding species to care for. Experience in managing cichlid behavior and maintaining water quality is crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters:
Maintain a stable aquarium environment with a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0 and a water temperature between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential to keep water parameters in check.

Bring the beauty of Central America into your aquarium with the captivating Lyonsi Cichlid. Its vibrant colors and dynamic behavior will undoubtedly make it a centerpiece in any cichlid enthusiast’s collection.
