Bandit Cichlid

Details -

A peaceful cichlid that does not get too big, these are an ideal addition to a peaceful community aquarium with appropriate sized tank mates.

Personality wise, these have a reputation as being very peaceful...more or less the same temperament of your average Geophagus. They are hardy, easy to feed, and are thriving in my aquariums at temps in the mid-70's.

This species usually grows to around 4" or so in aquariums, although large males can get to 6" in very large aquariums. The fish currently for sale are about 1.5" to 2.5", give or take a bit.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
