Scientific name: Dicrossus Filamentosus

Ranges through Colombia and Venezuela, from the Rio Inírida to Maripa and in the Rio Orinoco. It’s also found in parts of the Brazilian Rio Negro.

Checkerboard Cichlids are very shy fish, often “hugging” the bottom of the tank amongst plants and scattered leaves. Provide a well planted aquarium with a great number of hiding places. Floating plants are also an excellent option. Dim lighting is recommended.

Difficulty in keeping: Hard

Maximum size: 7-8cm Males 5-6cm Females

Selling size:  4-5 cm and above

Temperature: 24 – 28 °C  (25°C preferred)

pH: 4.5-6.5 Our fish are bred and grown at a ph between 4.5 and 7.5

Diet: Primarily carnivorous and apparently feeds mostly on benthic invertebrates in nature. In the aquarium live and frozen foods such as Brine shrimp, Daphnia and Grindal worms should be offered regularly although most specimens will also learn to accept dried alternatives with pelleted products generally preferred to flake.

Amazing little fish!

I purchased 5 young Dicrossus Filamentosus, not only did they all arrive alive and healthy but I also received an extra fish! They have now settled in and look amazing. Im very happy with my purchase and would shop here again!
