Yellow Prince Cichlid

Yellow Prince Cichlids (Electric Yellow Cichlids) are vibrant, relatively peaceful freshwater fish ideal for 30+ gallon tanks. Maintain water conditions at 76–82°F, pH 7.5–8.5, and provide sand substrate with rocks and caves for hiding. Feed them a balanced diet of cichlid pellets, vegetables, and occasional protein treats while avoiding overfeeding.

They thrive in groups (4-6) with compatible tank mates like Synodontis catfish or plecos but avoid aggressive or tiny fish. Breeding is easy in proper conditions; females are mouthbrooders. Regular water changes and careful monitoring help prevent common issues like Malawi bloat and fin rot. They’re perfect for aquarists seeking beauty and manageable care.
