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.
