Description
Thorichthys aureus, also known as the Blue/Red Flash Cichlid, Golden Firemouth, or Aureum Cichlid, is a relatively peaceful cichlid from Central America. Like all firemouths they are somewhat social so can be kept in a mixed-sex school when given sufficient space and structure. When mature, T. aureus have a jaw dropping palette of blues, reds, and golds that make them one of the most colourful cichlids out there.
