The Rainbow Humphead Eartheater (Gymnogeophagus lipokarenos) is a stunning, peaceful Cichlid found throughout cooler rivers of Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Like all eartheaters, they are adapted to ingest mouthfuls of fine sand substrate and sift out small food items like insect larvae and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species, and they are generally safe even with much smaller fish. These will do best in soft, cool water (pH 7.0 or below, temperatures of 65-75F).

A large growing Cichlid native to freshwater rivers and lakes of Mexico and Guatemala, the Rio Chacamax or Red-spotted Cichlid (Vieja bifasciata) is mostly a herbivore in the wild, grazing on algae and detritus. Even juveniles of this cichlid species exhibit striking body colorations making for an impressive show fish. In the aquarium, they are an aggressive, boisterous fish that requires plenty of open swimming space as well as lots of cover. They are sensitive to water quality so frequent large water changes should be considered essential to long term success with this species.

India’s only endemic Cichlid species and the only member of its genus known to inhabit strictly freshwater habitat, the Canara Pearlspot Cichlid or Banded Chromide is a beautifully marked, medium growing fish known from river systems in Karnataka, India. In the wild, it tends to be found in loose aggregations and is a social fish in the aquarium, best kept in groups of 5 or more.They tend to be found in areas of moderate flow alongside a number of barbs (Dawkinsia sp.) and hill trout (Barilius sp.) which both make excellent tankmates in the aquarium as they will act as dither fish, diffusing aggression or territoriality between the Pearlspot Cichlids. An enthusiastic omnivore, they will accept most frozen and prepared foods but should be offered plenty of vegetable matter to ensure a balanced diet.

A stunning and unique relative of the eartheaters, the Threadfin Acara or Heckelii Cichlid is widespread throughout the Amazon and its tributaries in South America, where it inhabits shallow, sandy stretches of warm, acidic, slow-moving water. They are named for the remarkable filament-like fin extensions that adult fish develop off the dorsal fin. Like their relatives in the genus Geophagus, they will ingest mouthfuls of fine sand substrate and sift out small food items like insect larvae and crustaceans but also readily feed from the surface and water column. In the aquarium, they tend to do best in groups and will coexist with a variety of similarly peaceful cichlids or other fish species, but can be more aggressive and pushy than other eartheaters. These fish will do best in soft, warm water (pH 7.0 or below, temperatures of 80 ) but are adaptable and have been bred commercially for the aquarium trade in Asia and the US.

The Red Shoulder, Red Head, or “Rotkeil” Severum is a distinctive naturally occurring variant of the species known as Heros cf. efasciatus found throughout parts of the Middle Amazon and its tributaries. This strain has been popular in the aquarium hobby for many years due to its vibrant reddish-orange coloration and distinctive orange eyes. In its native range in Peru, it is referred to as “corbata” which has given rise to another common name for this fish – the “necktie” severum (so named for the stripe of red-orange extending from the gill plate to the top of the dorsal fin). While it has been bred commercially for some time, wild fish often display the most intense colors. Like most of their relatives, these fish are fairly peaceful for a large cichlid, and will usually coexist well in a mixed cichlid community composed of similarly sized semi-aggressive fish.
