Convict Cichlids are aggressive, hardy freshwater fish known for their bold black stripes on a silver or white body. They typically grow to 5-6 inches (13-15 cm) and are native to Central America. These fish are territorial, especially during breeding, and require spacious tanks with plenty of hiding spots. Convict Cichlids are popular in aquariums due to their striking appearance and bold personalities but are best kept with other robust species. They thrive in warm, slightly acidic to neutral water and are relatively easy to care for.
