Ngara Flametail Male Show Cichlid – Rick

The Ngara Flametail Male Show Cichlid is a stunning freshwater specimen prized for its vibrant coloration and dynamic personality. This African cichlid thrives in established aquariums of at least 55 gallons, preferably larger for territorial males. Maintain water temperature between 76-82°F with a pH of 7.5-8.5 to replicate its natural habitat. Provide plenty of rockwork and caves for shelter and territory establishment. These cichlids are moderately aggressive, especially during breeding, so tank mates should be carefully selected. Feed a varied diet of quality cichlid pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live prey to enhance their spectacular coloration. Regular water changes and strong filtration are essential for optimal health and vibrant display colors.
