Cichlasoma Tetracanthus Cuban Cichlid 5cm

Overview: The Cichlasoma Tetracanthus is a medium-sized cichlid celebrated for its distinctive markings, showcasing an interplay of iridescent hues. Its bold demeanor and engaging behavior make it a standout choice for aquarium enthusiasts seeking a visually stunning and lively addition to their aquatic sanctuary.

Origin: Hailing from the freshwater habitats of Cuba, this cichlid brings a touch of the Caribbean to your tank. In the wild, it thrives in slow-moving rivers and streams, adapting seamlessly to the controlled environment of a well-maintained aquarium.

Feeding: Indulge your Cuban Cichlid with a diverse diet, including high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen treats. Their omnivorous nature allows for a mix of protein and plant-based foods, ensuring optimal health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates: While the Cuban Cichlid can be territorial, judicious tank planning allows for harmonious cohabitation. Pair them with similarly sized, robust companions, steering clear of overly passive species. Dither fish can help diffuse aggression, creating a balanced and engaging community.

Aggression: Known for their assertive temperament, Cuban Cichlids may display territorial tendencies, especially during breeding periods. Adequate hiding spots and a well-structured tank layout contribute to minimizing conflicts, fostering a more serene aquatic environment.

Experience Level: This captivating species is suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists. Experience in managing cichlid behavior and maintaining water quality is recommended to ensure the well-being of these lively aquatic gems.

Water Parameters: Maintain a stable and pristine aquatic habitat with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH between 6.5-7.5, and moderate water hardness. Consistent water parameters mimic their natural habitat, promoting overall health and vitality.

Dive into the world of the Cichlasoma Tetracanthus, where every ripple tells a story of Caribbean charm and aquatic allure.
