Cupido Cichlid Wild

Cupid Cichlid Wild (Biotodoma cupido) 

Large 3.5-4"

The Cupid Cichlid, a vibrant and tranquil cichlid of medium size, can be found in the central Amazon basin and its surrounding streams. This social species thrives in groups and coexists peacefully with other cichlids and fish varieties. Across their habitat, they display different color patterns, with those in the lower and middle Rio Itaya in Peru showcasing a striking red hue on their faces and bodies. These cichlids are similar to the South American Eartheaters (Geophagus, Satanoperca) and often forage for food in the sand, making them suitable for planted tanks.
