Trimac x Convict Cichlid Hybrid 6-10cm

Trimac x Convict Cichlid Hybrid (6–10 cm Juveniles/Sub-Adults)

Category: Freshwater Cichlids | Size: 6–10 cm (2.5–4 inches) | Temperament: Semi-Aggressive to Aggressive | Origin: Captive-Bred Hybrid

These 6–10 cm Trimac x Convict Cichlid hybrids are growing fast and already showing the bold features and vibrant potential of their lineage. A cross between the powerful Amphilophus trimaculatus and the hardy Amatitlania nigrofasciata, this hybrid offers a unique combination of strength, color, and personality.

Key Features:

• Current size: 6–10 cm (2.5–4 inches)

• Starting to show color and pattern variations—each fish is unique

• Semi-aggressive; becoming more territorial as they mature

• Strong body structure, excellent growth potential

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 75–82°F (24–28°C)

• pH: 6.8–7.8

• Hardness: Moderate to Hard

Feeding:

• Omnivorous – readily accepts pellets, flakes, and frozen foods

• Feed high-protein diet to support color development and growth

Tank Requirements:

• Minimum 40–55 gallons per fish recommended at this size

• Provide rockwork, caves, and line-of-sight breaks to manage aggression

• Best housed alone or with other robust, similarly sized cichlids

Ideal For: Intermediate to experienced cichlid keepers looking for something rare and personality-packed. This hybrid is unpredictable in appearance and behavior—some lean more Trimac with red spotting, while others inherit the classic barred pattern of the Convict.
