JAGUAR CICHLID

Hardy and aggressive freshwater cichlid prized for striking appearance and bold personality. Features distinctive dark body with bright yellow or white spots and bold markings that intensify with maturity. Reaches 16-20 inches, requiring a spacious aquarium of at least 75 gallons with plenty of hiding spots and territorial space.

Best suited for experienced aquarists due to predatory nature—will consume smaller fish and invertebrates. Prefers warm water between 72-82°C with neutral to slightly acidic pH. Thrives on high-protein diet including pellets, frozen foods, and live prey. Compatible only with large, similarly-sized cichlids that can hold their own.

A centerpiece fish that commands attention with its powerful presence and striking coloration. Ideal for aggressive community tanks or dedicated species setups where its dominance and hunting prowess can be fully appreciated.
