Vibrant Colours, Big Personality
Parrot cichlids are among the most interactive aquarium fish. They quickly learn to recognise their owner, often swimming to the front of the tank at feeding time. The Blue Neon variant displays particularly intense iridescent blue colouring that shimmers under aquarium lighting, with some individuals showing tiger-like barring.
Tank Setup
Provide plenty of hiding spots with rocks, driftwood, and caves. Parrot cichlids appreciate a sandy substrate for digging. They can be mildly territorial, particularly around caves and sheltered areas, so provide enough cover for all tank inhabitants. A good filtration system is important as these are messy eaters.
Tank Mates
Compatible with other robust, medium-sized fish. Avoid very small species that could be bullied, and avoid highly aggressive cichlids. See also our Short Body Texas Cichlid, Brown Kuhli Loach, and Albino Congo Tetra.
