Dragon Blood Cichlid Care

The Dragon Blood Cichlid is a captivating fish known for its vivid colors and energetic demeanor. This hybrid species showcases a range of stunning hues, making it a standout addition to any aquarium. Its semi-aggressive nature is best suited for a species-specific or carefully planned community tank with similarly tempered cichlids.

  • Care Level: Easy – These fish are hardy and well-suited for aquarists with some experience in maintaining cichlid tanks.
  • Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 350 liters is recommended, providing plenty of space for swimming and territories. Include rocks, caves, and other hiding spots to create a habitat similar to their natural African environment.
  • Water Parameters: Maintain a water temperature of 25-29°C and a pH between 7.8-8.6 to ensure optimal health and vibrant coloration.
  • Diet: As omnivores, Dragon Blood Cichlids thrive on a varied diet of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, and occasional vegetable matter such as zucchini or spinach. Avoid overfeeding to prevent water quality issues.
  • Behavior: While semi-aggressive, Dragon Blood Cichlids are less likely to cause serious harm if given enough space and hiding places. They may become more territorial during breeding.

Growing to a maximum size of around 12 cm, Dragon Blood Cichlids are a manageable yet striking species, perfect for hobbyists seeking a vibrant and lively aquarium centerpiece.
