Base color of the Wolf cichlid is gold, and well-kept specimens will take on a beautiful lavender color. They have random black spots all over their body. Juveniles are gold with a black horizontal stripe.Big and mean best describes this cichlid. Dovii are known for their aggression, so tank mates need to compete with their temperament and size. It is recommended that these fish are kept in a large species tank with no tankmates to avoid issues. They will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouth, and will not hesitate to beat more docile tankmates.Feed pellets, frozen foods like silversides and krill, and earthworms on occasion. This fish is a substrate spawner

The Humpback Turretfish (aka Camel Cowfish) is similar to the more square-shaped boxfish but has a more pyramid-like appearance, ending with a pointed top. They are omnivores and will browse for inverts and algae. Meaty foods like krill and plankton are also recommended Like other members of their family, these fish may release a powerful toxin into the water if very stressed or if killed by a tankmates. Always remove a struggling boxfish or cowfish into a sepereate quarantine tank if stressed and monitor their interactions with their tankmates closely.

The True Parrot Cichlid, Hoplarchus psittacus, is native to the black waters of South America. They prefer soft, acidic, and very clean water, and do not tend to do well if pristine conditions are not met.True Parrots have a reputation for being notoriously difficult to spawn, lending to their rare offering in the aquarium trade. Males and females are nearly indistinguishable, both as juveniles and as adults. Juvenile specimens have camouflage coloration with dark green splotches alternating with light bands. At about 3-4 inches the fish begins to change to adult coloration, solid iridescent green.These fish require large spaces, as they reach an adult size of 10 to 13 inches. Not less than a 55 gallon tank is recommended for juveniles. The tank should be decorated with plenty of wood and other cover as they tend to be timid. They can also be finicky eaters, but will benefit from a varied offering of foods like spirulina, krill, cichlid pellets, and frozen foods as well.

Complete nutrition for your fish. Highly digestible formula contains high levels of carotenoids, krill, and spirulina algae to aide with color enhancing, muscle growth, and ease of digestibility.Feed fish 2-3 times daily, as much as your fish can eat within three minutes (example: feed one crisp per one-inch fish per feeding).
