Cichlids are one of the most diverse fish families in the hobby. From tiny apistogrammas to massive oscars, this guide covers the basics of keeping them well.
Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Pishuna Cichlid, Aequidens tetramerus, is a larger South American cichlid with colour and territory.
Build the tank with room, cover, wood, stones and strong filtration. Slow-flowing, debris-rich habitat context makes leaf litter and broken sight lines useful, but keep maintenance steady.
Use robust, similarly sized tank mates and avoid small fish or timid community species. Watch pairs closely if breeding behaviour begins.
