Honduran Red Point Cichlid (Cryptoheros sp. 'Honduran Red Point') is a colourful Central American cichlid with blue body sheen, red fin edging and classic convict-type confidence. Some references place Honduran Red Point under Amatitlania, but the live product anchor is kept stable here so shoppers can match the listing they ordered.
| Listed identity | Cryptoheros sp. 'Honduran Red Point'; also seen as Amatitlania sp. |
|---|---|
| Adult size | About 10-12cm |
| Minimum aquarium | 120 litres or larger for a pair |
| Water | 24-28°C, pH 6.5-7.8, moderate hardness |
| Diet | Omnivore: cichlid pellets, frozen foods and vegetable matter |
| Temperament | Semi-aggressive; more territorial when breeding |
Use caves, rockwork and visual breaks so a pair can hold territory without constant stress. They are hardy and rewarding, but small timid fish and shrimp are poor matches. Choose robust cichlid companions only in larger aquariums.
