Temperament:
Territorial; This fish is territorial and somewhat aggressive. Should be ok in larger tanks with other fish of similar size and temperament.

Diet:
Ominvore; This fish is not a picky eater. A variety of foods should be fed including a quality cichlid pellet as well as other meat and veggie based foods.


Care:
This is not a difficult cichlid to keep. A larger tank is needed because these fish can grow quite large. A small to medium sized gravel would probably be best along with several larger rocks to form caves and hiding places.

The female will guard the eggs while the male patrols the outer area to ward off predators. During breeding, this fish will become much more aggressive than normal. Also, during courtship and breeding, this fish's colors will change quite drastically from the normally light yellow base color to a darker
