The Taiwan Reef Cichlid is a vibrant and active freshwater fish that brings stunning color and energy to any aquarium. Known for its striking blue body with subtle orange highlights and elegant fin patterns, this cichlid is a favorite among aquarists seeking a colorful centerpiece for African Rift Lake-style tanks.

Taiwan Reef Cichlids are semi-aggressive and territorial, especially during breeding, so they do best in aquariums with plenty of rocks, caves, and hiding spaces. They thrive in a carefully maintained environment that mimics their natural rocky habitat, with stable water conditions and regular filtration.

These cichlids are omnivorous and appreciate a varied diet including high-quality cichlid pellets, flakes, and occasional frozen or live foods. A balanced diet helps maintain their vivid coloration and overall health.
