Behavior

The large and beautifully colored Managuense Cichlid can make an exciting pet fish. These fish usually cannot be kept with others; however, on their own, they can make an impressive and interesting display. In captivity, Managuense Cichlids are quite territorial. In fact, some have been reported to attack their own reflections and to display threat behaviors when people are in the same room as their aquaria. On the other hand, some owners consider their Managuense Cichlids to be less aggressive than other Cichlid species. Managuense Cichlids are reported to be amusing to watch, hardy, and intelligent, and for these reasons, it is not hard to understand why many people keep them.

Origin
