-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 30 gallons for a pair or a small group of Lemon Cichlids. A larger tank offers more swimming space and reduces aggression.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 74-82°F (23-28°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure excellent water quality and oxygenation. Frequent water changes are important to maintain good water conditions.
-
Aquascape: Decorate the tank with rocks, caves, driftwood, and live plants. Lemon Cichlids appreciate hiding spots and areas for territorial behavior.
-
Tank Mates: They can be territorial, so choose tankmates carefully. Peaceful cichlids and other non-aggressive fish that share similar water parameters are suitable.
-
Diet: Lemon Cichlids are omnivores and accept a diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and vegetable matter.
