Cichlasoma (or Parapetenia) salvini

The adults of Salvin's cichlid are belligerent, but they take good care of their fry (several hundred per brood) which become freeswimming 5-6 days after hatching. A 250-liter tank containing hard, alkaline water, is perfect for these fish, with some sturdy water plants as a finishing touch. Size: 15 cm.
