Convict cichlid

Add a bold, unmistakable personality and striking architectural patterns to your aquarium with the Convict Cichlid. Celebrated for their legendary hardiness and fascinating social behaviors, these fish feature a classic, high-contrast series of vertical black bars set against a smoky silver-blue body, closely resembling a traditional convict uniform.

As one of the most resilient and spirited species in the cichlid world, Convicts are an incredible introduction to the complex behaviors of Central American cichlids. They are infinitely entertaining to watch as they rearrange substrates, establish territories, and display remarkable, highly coordinated parental care.
