Starry Night Cichlid

Meet the Starry Night Cichlid, a breathtaking freshwater treasure that brings a celestial sparkle to any aquarium. Its dark base color is splashed with star-like speckles that shimmer as it glides through the water, creating a living night sky inside your tank.

Key Features

• Stellar pattern: star-like iridescent speckles across a slate-blue body for a dramatic, eye-catching look.
• Centerpiece presence: a striking focal point that elevates any community or species tank.
• Balanced size: proportions that fit well in medium-to-large tanks while remaining lively and active.
• Hardy and adaptable: reliable temperament and resilience when kept in proper conditions.

Care Overview

The Starry Night Cichlid thrives in a stable, well-filtered freshwater setup with plenty of hiding spots and territories. It can be territorial, so provide ample rockwork, caves, and rugged decor to break sightlines and reduce aggression. Maintain clean water and a varied diet to support vivid coloration and overall health.

Diet & Feeding

• Omnivorous diet: offer high-quality pellets or flakes combined with frozen or live foods to ensure balanced nutrition.
• Feed in small amounts 1–2 times daily, removing any leftovers to maintain water quality.

Tank Setup & Compatibility

Create a natural environment with rocks, caves, driftwood, and subdued lighting to mimic its native habitat. A spacious aquarium with gentle circulating water and stable parameters helps bring out its best coloration. Keep with compatible tank mates—other mid-to-large cichlids or peaceful community fish that share similar needs—and avoid keeping it with overly small or highly aggressive species.
