Trimac Cichlid - Cichlasoma trimaculatum

Trimac Cichlid ( Cichlasoma trimaculatum ) also known as Three Spot Cichlid. It is a type of Central American Cichlid. This large fish is aggressive, it is better to keep in its own tank. This fish is easy to keep and perfect for all big tanks.

Compatible Tank Mates

These intensely territorial cichlids generally do not tolerate other fish. In exceptionally large aquariums, hardy cichlids might coexist with close monitoring. However, maintaining a species-specific tank is the most reliable way to avoid aggression. Their dominant behavior often results in exclusive control of the space, so strategic tank setup is crucial for maintaining harmony.

Diet and Feeding

The Trimac Cichlid thrives on a carnivorous diet, readily accepting substantial cichlid pellets along with live foods such as earthworms or feeder fish. Feeding adult specimens once per day helps avoid overfeeding. Providing a diverse range of premium foods supports their health, enhances their vivid colors, and helps preserve optimal water conditions.
