Cichlid Fish

The Red Spotted Severum is a very popular cichlid. It is a great entry level cichlid, as well as for advance keepers. They do very well when kept in schools. Many hobbyist choose to combine diferent varieties of Severums such as the Green and Gold. They also make a good mate for Oscar Cichlids. They are not fin nippers, but they will hold their own against a slightly larger fish.

 Severums (Heros sp.) have been a mainstay in the aquarium hobby for decades. They grow large enough to act as centerpieces, but they are not tank-busters, and they come in a variety of color patterns. Red Spotted Severums are a golden yellow color and develop small red spots throughout their whole bodies as they age. They are typically peaceful, though aggression will surface if pairs form

Be one of the few to own a colony of these beautiful bright cichlids. These are not very common cichlids to see in this trade. Yes, they really get this red, the photo has not been enhanced. The Strawberry Peacock Cichlid originates from the Southern part of Lake Malawi and is a semi-aggressive omnivore. Provide about 3 to 5 females to every male in this species. The females have less color than males, as do all peaacocks. Females will hold eggs in her mouth (mouth-brood) for about 8-12 days. Their aquarium should be well-aquascaped with plenty of rocks to provide breeding grounds, hiding places, and to create territories. This species is simple to keep, and breed, but appropriate levels of salt and trace elements should be added to the aquarium to promote proper health.

The Auratus Cichlid Melanochromis auratus has a gorgeous golden coloring with stripes of black and blue. However the males and females have opposite coloring. Females and juveniles are yellow with stripes of black and white on the part of the body. Males are just the reverse, having a black or dark brown body with the stripes being light blue or yellow.

The Eureka Red Jake Peacock Cichlid is another Aulonocara species of cichlids. The males of the species feature a beautiful metallic blue face that extends to the tail, contrasted with splashes of metallic red along their back and behind the gills.  They are a striking and distinctive species that makes a beautiful addition to a home aquarium.

Eureka Red Jake Peacocks are less aggressive than other cichlids so they can be paired peacefully with other peacock cichlids. Be wary of dominant males and consider only one male in the tank at a time. These fish pair with the German Red Peacock and Blue Neon Peacock fine.

This hybrid is derived from the Otter Point Peacock. Males have a light blue colored face with the same blue running from their pectoral fins to their tail.  Their red color develops on the top part of their body, going midway up their dorsal fin.

The Albino super red Oscar is a very popular white and red-orange variant of the classic Tiger Oscar.

The Albino ssuper red Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus), also known as the Marble Cichlid or Velvet Cichlid, is a large South American cichlid species that needs little to no introduction. It is one of the most popular and beloved fish in the entire aquarium hobby, and with good reason. It has beautiful markings, is extremely hardy and unfussy in every way, and is easily a centerpiece fish in any large aquarium. It grows to a substantial, but manageable size and is one of the most interactive fish when it comes to paying attention to its keeper.

The Albino super red Oscar will thrive in a large aquarium with a sand or gravel substrate and sturdy decor as well as plenty of open swimming space. It does consume some plant matter, so artificial plants are a better choice for decor than live plants (if plants are used at all). Like many cichlids, this species is known to sometimes rearrange decor to its liking, so it is necessary to avoid "avalanches" of decorative stones and driftwood. The Albino super red Oscar is considerably less aggressive than most other medium and large cichlids, but it does have a voracious appetite and will eat any fish or invertebrate that will fit (or nearly fit) in its mouth. Territoriality is typically at its peak during spawning. Due to the eventual adult size of the Albino super red Oscar, it should not be kept with ornamental invertebrates. If spawning is desired, tankmates of other species should be avoided altogether. It should also be noted that the Albino super red Oscar is typically most peaceful with tankmates when it is grown up with them from juve

Geophagus Surinamensis also call red stripe eartheater is a peaceful, relatively non-territorial cichlid, with beautiful, almost iridescent patterns of blue, green and red markings. They are ferocious diggers, foraging constantly for food in the substrate. They are well designed for this, with a long, sloping forehead and eyes placed high on their head.

Anything fed to them in an aquarium should sink, as their preferred method of feeding is to sift through the substrate. They are fond of foods such as whiteworms, bloodworms, daphnia and brine shrimp, but animal proteins are not best for them.
