Care notes
Beautiful undescribed convict relative with striking blue-green iridescence and red-tipped fins. Easier going than most Central American cichlids. Forms devoted pairs. Substrate spawner with biparental care. Hardy and adaptable.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
