Convict Cichlid Care Guide
The Convict Cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) is a advanced-level freshwater aquarium resident from Central America. It reaches about 5.9 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 30 gallons.
Keep water near pH 6.5-8, temperature 72-82F, and hardness 3-14 dH. Feed omnivore, cichlid pellets, frozen food with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Convict Cichlids need tank mates chosen around temperament, territory, and adult size. Provide line-of-sight breaks and avoid fish small enough to be swallowed.
