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
Motaguense Cichlid is Parachromis motaguensis, a large Central American predatory cichlid also known as the false yellowjacket cichlid. It is not a casual community fish; it needs space, strong filtration and an experienced keeper who understands large cichlid behaviour.
Plan this fish for a robust cichlid system with secure rockwork, open swimming space and heavy filtration. Small tank mates may be eaten, and similar-sized cichlids need a much larger aquarium with clear territories.
Available livestock is packed for a licensed live-animal courier service and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee when conditions are suitable.
