Gymnogeophagus balzani is notable for the unique 'hump' on its forehead, especially prominent in mature males. It is a peaceful cichlid, but may display territorial behavior during breeding. Ideal to house with other South American cichlids or similarly tempered fish. Frequent water changes and good tank maintenance are crucial to keep this species healthy.
