Next up are the Parachromis Genus, these cichlids are found in C. America, they are torpedo shaped, they all have sharp teeth and most are omnivorous/carnivorous

The Dovii is the largest of the Family as I noted above.

The next largest is the Managuense Cichlid aka Jaguar Cichlid

These guys get up to 17'' or so, they are fairly aggressive, especially at a younger age, they seem to do better than most in a community setting if surrounded by other large aggressive fish. They are arguably the most beautiful Parachromis species, personally they are one of my favorite fishes to keep.

The 3rd largest is called the Motoguense or Tiger Cichlid.
The most impressive variation of Motoguense is the Red Tiger Motoguense

RTM gets to around 13'' or so, they have fairly similar temperaments to the Managuense

Next is the Fredrichsthali

These guys grow to around 11'' and aren't quite as aggressive as the other 3 mentioned above.

Last of the Group is the Loisellei Cichlid

These are also small, their max size usually around 11'', their aggression is similar to the the Fred. Reply
