Native to Mexico and Central America, this cichlid is hardy, intelligent, and less aggressive than many similarly sized cichlids, making it a great choice for semi-aggressive community aquariums. Firemouths enjoy aquariums with caves, driftwood, and open swimming space, where they can establish small territories and show off their stunning colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"703\" data-start=\"686\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"705\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"777\" data-start=\"705\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"777\" data-start=\"707\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"727\" data-start=\"707\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive and cichlid community aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"815\" data-start=\"778\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"815\" data-start=\"780\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"802\" data-start=\"780\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"850\" data-start=\"816\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"850\" data-start=\"818\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"840\" data-start=\"818\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"876\" data-start=\"851\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"876\" data-start=\"853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"866\" data-start=\"853\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–8.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"946\" data-start=\"877\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"946\" data-start=\"879\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"907\" data-start=\"879\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best kept singly or as a bonded pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1054\" data-start=\"947\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1054\" data-start=\"949\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"967\" data-start=\"949\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive; suitable with other medium-sized cichlids and robust community fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"1055\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"1057\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1070\" data-start=\"1057\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–15 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
