Green Texas - 6-8CM

The Green Texas cichlids are native to lakes and rivers in south Texas and northern Mexico, making them the most northern naturally occurring species of cichlid in the world. It is the only native cichlid in the U.S. and amongst the first cichlids imported to Europe, having first been imported in 1912.

The pearly iridescent Texas cichlid fish can grow to a large size in your aquarium, so you'll need a large freshwater tank. Even if you have space, you might want to learn more about this aggressive fish that is known for its sparkly, speckled coloring.
