Checkerboard Cichlid

The Checkerboard Cichlid is a stunning species with a distinctive checkerboard pattern on its body, featuring alternating light and dark square markings. These medium-sized, semi-aggressive cichlids are colourful and active, preferring a spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots. They do well in community tanks with similarly-sized fish and require slightly acidic to neutral water conditions.
