15-30cm

They originate from the Amazon Basin in South America.

What are the ideal water conditions?
Ideal water conditions would be soft to medium water with a PH of 6-7.5.

What do you feed them?
Best to feed a variety of foods. Feed a varied diet of frozen, freeze dried, flake and cichlid pellets.

How compatible is it with other fish?
Peaceful for a cichlid but too aggresive for most community tanks. Ideal tankmates would be other American Cichlids of a similar size.
