Keyhole Cichlid

A small, peaceful South American cichlid.
The Keyhole Cichlid gets its name from the fact that it has a black spot on either side of its body that resembles a keyhole.
This species can also be kept well in a group and, due to their peaceful behaviour, can also be combined well with other types of fish such as community fish, but these should not be too small.

By furnishing the aquarium with stones, wood and sturdier plants, hiding places are created.
