Parachromis managuensis Jaguar Cichlid – Small $9.99 Parachromis managuensis , known as the Jaguar Cichlid, has a very attractive pattern not unlike the camouflage of a jaguar cat. It also has the fierce predatory ability of it’s namesake. It will make a quick meal of any fish small enough to fit in it’s mouth. It is also very aggressive and difficult to keep with other fish. The best way is to purchase a young specimen and grow it up with other cichlids of similar demeanor. When small, you can feed it flakes, pellets, and frozen brine shrimp. but as it matures, larger prey such as krill, large pellets or sticks, crayfish, live fish, and earthworms are preferred. |

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. |

Herichthys carpintis Pearlscale Cichlid – Juvenile $9.99 Often confused with the Texas Cichlid, this fish has speckles that are smaller and appear more green, rather than blue like the Texas Cichlid. However, the Pearlscale shares a similar temperament. These fish are fine with other Central American cichlids, but they will not tolerate other Pearlscale or Texas cichlids. A large tank with ample swimming room and rocks for hiding is perfect. As for diet, this fish is actually an herbivore, so a good veggie flake, along with the occasional fresh vegetable matter will be a great diet. Every so often, some frozen meaty food would be ok, but not on a regular basis. This fish may develop a nuchal hump on its head as they mature. |

Cyprichromis leptosoma Slender Cichlid $19.99 The sardine-shaped leptosoma is found throughout the eastern coast Lake Tanganyika with many attractive variants. 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. |

Paratilapia polleni Small Spot Cichlid $9.99 Paratilapia polleni , the Small-spot Madagascar Cichlid, is a rare offering as it is endangered in the wild. These cichlids are dark with irregularly shaped white spots. They are often confused with the Large Spot Cichlid, once thought to be a regional variant or seperate species known as Paratilapia bleekeri , the Large Spot Cichlid. The Large Spot Cichlid is thought to be extinct in the wild and these two variants should not be kept together to avoid hybridizataion. They are popular with aquarists due to their outgoing personalities and bold nature, much like oscars. They will need a meaty diet and plenty of cover like rocks and wood, while still maintaining free space in the aquarium for adults to swim freely. |

Parachromis dovii Wolf Cichlid – XSmall $9.99 Base color of the Wolf cichlid is gold, and well-kept specimens will take on a beautiful lavender color. They have random black spots all over their body. Juveniles are gold with a black horizontal stripe. Big and mean best describes this cichlid. Dovii are known for their aggression, so tank mates need to compete with their temperament and size. It is recommended that these fish are kept in a large species tank with no tankmates to avoid issues. They will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouth, and will not hesitate to beat more docile tankmates. Feed pellets, frozen foods like silversides and krill, and earthworms on occasion. This fish is a substrate spawner. |

Nimbochromis venustus Giraffe Cichlid- Juvenile $8.99 Nimbochromis venustus is known as the Giraffe Cichlid or Kalingo, a predator from Lake Malawi. Females and juveniles are usually gray in coloration with relatively large brown spots that cover the entire fish. When dominant males reach sexual maturity, they develop electric blue coloration on the head with a yellow blaze from the forehead through the dorsal fin. The body is golden yellow with large dark patches. Tankmates must be chosen carefully. Venustus in the wild will normally chase after and eat smaller fish and this will hold true in the home aquarium. At full size, this fish may reach up to 10 inches in length and at this size only a few tankmates will be suitable. Plenty of rock work should be placed in the aquarium for these fish. These fish are predatory and will need a meaty diet including cichlid pellets and large freeze-dried or frozen foods like krill and mysis as frequent treats. |

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. |

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. Salvini are substrate spawners, and prefer a fine substrate. |

The Rusty Cichlid has a rounder head and the basic shape of a Pseudotropheus cichlid. Males usually have intense rust-coloration around their head and violet-blue on the flanks. 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. |
