Cryptoheros sp. ‘honduras red point’ pair in their
rocky inspired Honduras stream tank
huge tanks. This isn’t always the case and there is
a great little genus of cichlids called Cryptoheros
that are ideal for smaller aquariums.
For this display I have chosen a beautiful little
cichlid that is still un-described called ‘honduras
red point’.
You are safe to add small groups of fish , as this is
the best way to get compa tible pairs. However,
once a pair has formed, surplus fish will need to be
removed.
Adding dither fish is always good practice when
growing on young fish. Many livebearers will be a
good choice and should be introduced a couple of
weeks before any cichlids.
Fish species
There are 13 described species and 1 un-
described belonging to the Cryptoheros complex.
All are quite suitable for this setup as most spe-
cies will only attain a size up to 4 inch.
