| − | + | |environment_specifics=:A well-filtered tank is a must. They enjoy thick rockery and robust plants as well as several pieces of driftwood. | |
| − | + | |behaviour=:An aggressive fish, and should be kept with fish of the same or larger size only in a huge tank. While it is aggressive, it is not as aggressive as the [[Jaguar Cichlid]]. Being Cichlids, they do dig, and plants will probably get uprooted in the process. Best kept solo. | |
| − | = | + | |identification=:A very attractive fish, with yellow/orange edging to the fins. It is an oval-shaped fish with a rounded caudal fin. The dorsal is pointed. The upper back is dark-green with the flanks being iridescent paler green. The body is generally quite iridescent giving the impression of several colours and bars. |
