Description
Hypsophrys nicaraguensis is a mid-to-large-sized cichlid from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Reaching about 8-10" it develops beautiful blue and gold colouration with maturity. The Nicaraguan Cichlid is relatively peaceful for a cichlid of its size; while still territorial with other cichlids it is easy to house with larger, robust community fishes such as larger tetras or danios, catfish, loaches, etc.
