The Blue Convict Cichlid (1-1.5 inches) is a vibrant and visually appealing freshwater fish known for its distinctive coloration and bold patterns. At this juvenile size, it is beginning to show its characteristic features, including:

Coloration: The Blue Convict Cichlid has a striking blue to turquoise body with bold, vertical black stripes running along its length. This color pattern gives it a unique and eye-catching appearance, especially as it grows and the colors become more pronounced.

Body Shape: It has a relatively compact, rounded body typical of cichlids, with a slightly laterally compressed shape. As a juvenile, it is still developing its adult form, but it already displays the characteristic cichlid profile with a prominent, slightly tapered head.

Behavior: Known for its active and somewhat territorial nature, the Blue Convict Cichlid can be lively and engaging. Even at a young age, it may exhibit behaviors like exploring its environment and establishing a small territory within the tank.

Tank Requirements: The Blue Convict Cichlid thrives in a well-maintained aquarium with a warm temperature range of 76°F to 82°F and a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. It prefers a tank with hiding spots, such as rocks and caves, as it can be territorial, especially as it matures.

Diet: It should be fed a varied diet, including high-quality cichlid pellets and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp, to support its growth and health.
