Pink Convict

The Pink Convict cichlid is a striking freshwater fish prized for its vibrant coloration and hardy temperament. This Central American species displays distinctive pink and white striping, particularly pronounced in males during breeding season. Known for their aggressive feeding response and territorial behavior, Pink Convicts thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of hiding spots and robust filtration. They reach 4-5 inches and pair readily for spawning, making them excellent for experienced aquarists interested in cichlid breeding. Maintain water temperatures between 75-80°F and provide a diet of quality pellets supplemented with live or frozen foods for optimal color development and health.
