Midas Cichlid

Amphilophus citrinellus

Community with Caution 

The fish you will recieve is still juvenile and are yet to produce their beautiful colours in full.                                                                                                                       

The Midas Cichlid is not as aggressive as the similar Red Devil, although it is no push-over. Provided that the tank has plenty of hiding places and physical barriers in it, the Midas can be kept with other, hardy and boisterous tank mates. That being said, there are plenty of Midas cichlids that have grown up to become dominant bullies so don't think that you will be able to house this cichlid with any tank mates that are in the least bit nervous.

They will redecorate you tank to their liking and they love to dig and uproot plants.
