A South American acara from the Meta River system that needs more space than a small sale-size fish suggests, with soft acidic water and a structured layout.
Adult size is the maximum length this species reaches at full maturity (scientific sources). The livestock you receive will be younger and smaller — pick a size variant above for the actual shipping size. Photos are AI-enhanced, so the animal may show subtle colour or marking differences.

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
Twin-Spot Cichlid, Aequidens metae, is a South American acara from the Meta River in the Orinoco basin. The old listing undersold the adult size, so this version sets a safer aquarium expectation.
Use a mature aquarium with soft acidic water, wood, stones, open swimming room and cover. Give adults enough territory and strong filtration.
Choose similarly robust South American fish and avoid tiny tank mates. Monitor territorial behaviour during pairing or breeding condition.
The SERP title now leads with the actual species and removes the generic cichlid-for-sale boilerplate.. Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee and are sent with a licensed live-animal courier when available.
