They share a similar body shape but have a different coloration. Males are silver-tan with a blue metallic sheen and yellow markings near the eyes and pectoral fins. Females are also silver-tan and have a dark spot on their dorsal fin. When spawning, their lower half turns black and a large copper colored spot appears.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e While small, the Topaz cichlid can be fairly aggressive, therefore they should be kept alone in pairs or with other Central American cichlids of similar size or larger. Their aggression increases when spawning as they display excellent parental care. Pairs will spawn in a cave or on a flat surface with both parents guarding the fry. The female’s maternal instincts are so strong that sometimes they will steal fry from conspecifics. All of these factors make the Topaz cichlid an excellent candidate for a breeding project.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eArchocentrus myrnae\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: Topaz Cichlid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMax Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.0-8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moderately soft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 75-80\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e°\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAggressiveness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aggressive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: South America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaptive Bred or Wild\u003c\/strong\u003e: Captive Bred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlake or pellet, frozen and live food\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alone, in pairs, or with similarly sized Central or South American cichlids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTank Mate Options\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarble Convict Cichlid\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFiremouth Cichlid\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNicaraguan Cichlid\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*****Please review our \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShipping and Handling FAQ\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e prior to placing your order.
