Taiwan Reef Cichlid

The Taiwan Reef Cichlid (Andinoacara sp.) is admired for its vivid blue body, red highlights on the fins, and dynamic swimming behavior. Native to Central and South America, this species is moderately aggressive and thrives in well-structured tanks with rocks, driftwood, and hiding spaces.

Taiwan Reef Cichlids are interactive and intelligent, often recognizing their owners and displaying social behavior. They do well in tanks with other medium-sized cichlids, but care must be taken to provide enough space to prevent territorial disputes.
