"Checkerboard Cichlids" are prized for their striking appearance and intricate patterns. A peaceful species, these fish are ideal for community tanks, provided they are housed with other peaceful tank mates. They are cautious about tank environment conditions and appreciate a well-planted, dimly lit aquarium with driftwood and leaf litter to simulate their natural habitat.
