The Three Spot Cichlid (Amphilophus trimaculatum) is a large, red-eyed, and colorful Central American cichlid, which takes it’s name from the 3 distinct spots running down its lateral line, and whose natural habitat is in large lakes and slow moving rivers where is lives among submerged roots and branches.
Also known as the Trimac or Red-eyed Cichlid, they are fairly aggressive, predatory, and dig prodigiously. Therefore, a single specimen housed alone makes for a highly interesting “pet fish”, as do a mated pair. Otherwise, a single specimen with comparably sized fish, in a very large aquarium, are the best tank mates.
They will eat anything that they can fit in their mouth and rearrange the aquarium as they see fit: so give them a natural gravel substrate, rocks and bog wood, but most plants will not survive.
Water Conditions:
6 - 8 pH
70 - 82 F
15 KH
Breeding: Captive bred on our farm.

Stuning fish. Arrived healthy and active.
I purchased 3 of these recently and it's my second time ordering from F.F.D. They showed up on time and super healthy. Full of spunk, curious and eating vigorously the first night. I'm pleased with the quality and also pleased with the customer service as I made an error on my order. I got a response to my email from them in a short time and she helped me resolve the issue.
Above and beyond expectations. I ordered 3" fish and this is more between 4-5" and stunning color.
Eating day of receiving and doing fantastic.
Trimac came beautiful. Im now ordering a green terror. Package was amazing.
