Iodotropheus sprengerae Rusty Cichlid – Juvenile $8.99 These beautiful mbuna, or rock-dwelling cichlids were one of the first species exported from Lake Malawi.

They are not aggressive towards most tankmates, but may show aggression with other males, especially in the presence of females. They are mouthbrooders, meaning the female holds the eggs and young fry in her mouth for protection. Feed a diet of cichlid flakes, or pellets and supplemental spirulina . They enjoy a tank with plenty of rockwork to explore. |

Cichlasoma salvini Salvin’s Cichlid- Small $6.99 This attractive cichlid is silvery-gold with black, horizontal, blotchy patches on the dorsal half, and a black stripe from the eye to the tail. Females develop red on their bellies, especially when mating, and males have iridescent blue-green spots particularly on the dorsal half. Other semi-aggressive cichlids make good tankmates, though this fish can become extremely aggressive when spawning. Use discretion when choosing tankmates if housing a pair of salvini. Feed them a variety of foods such as a hearty cichlid flake or pellet, as well as fresh vegetables. Tank decor can be basic rock or driftwood with plenty of hiding places and open swimming areas.

Vieja regani Regans Cichlid $16.99 Regan’s Cichlid is a large, thick bodied fish with pale grey coloration and a few irregularly shaped black spots on its sides. As the fish mature, they may develop iridescence that can vary in hue from fish to fish from green to gold to blue. Dominant males develop large humps on their heads. Regans Cichlids are not terribly aggressive, but due to it’s large size, tankmates should be carefully considered. They need plenty of room, and as with most New World Cichlids, they may be paired, but should not be housed in groups in home aquariums. They like plenty of cover like rooty formations and driftwood. Feed them a variety of foods including flake, pellet, greens and meaty frozen foods. |

This particular cichlid is actually a schooling, open water fish, and requires plenty of open swimming areas. Keep them in groups of 8 to 12 or more fish, if possible. Provide a large rock formation and a lid as well, for security. Keep Cyps with similar medium-sized cichlids, though nothing overly aggressive, as they are generally peaceful. They are maternal mouth brooders that spawn in the water column instead of sediment or rock. Feed them a variety of meaty foods, preferably frozen, though they should accept flake or pellet as well. Their primary diet in the wild is zooplankton. |

Biotodoma cupido Cupid Cichlid $9.99 While they are a dull silver-gray as juveniles, the adult coloration of the Cupid cichlid is no less than stunning! Varying iridescent colors appear in faint markings as the fish matures, and there are many different color variations. A black vertical stripe runs through the eyes. Males have blue lines on their cheeks while females have blue spots. Cupid cichlids do best in pairs, so choose a few young ones and allow them to pair off. They can become aggressive with their own kind, besides their chosen mate. While these cichlids care for their eggs and fry, it is still difficult to raise the babies into adulthood. This cichlid will accept flake and pelleted food, though a diet of frozen larvae and other meaty foods is much preferred. Their ideal tank decor features plenty of open swimming space and rock or driftwood hiding places at the lower levels of the tank. Tankmates that inhabit the higher areas of the tank will most likely be ignored. Hardy tetras, barbs, and plecos are recommended. This delicate species requires extremely good water conditions, so be sure to do regular water changes and maintenance. |
