Firemouth Cichlid.
TROPICAL FISH
The Firemouth Cichlid also known as the Thorichthys meeki.
They are best kept in water parameters of PH level of 6.0 – 7.0. Temperatures of 24 – 27 Celsius / 75 – 80 Fahrenheit. They can grow up to 6 inches fully grown.
The Firemouth cichlids are not a massively aggressive cichlid, but they are still best mixed with bigger fish, as they will eat smaller fish that will fit in there mouths.
They are best in pairs or in groups as on there own they can be shy.
They do not get to a big size but they still do require some room to swim about, and they do also like some where to hide.
They will eat any food you put in the tank, but they do require frozen or live foods in there diet.
We recommend feeding them once a day at the most.
Good foods for the them are: –
Tetra Prima food
King British tropical flake food
Vitails tropical flakes
Vitails tropical pellets
