Piceatus Haplochromis Cichlids are a group of colorful and diverse African cichlids, primarily from Lake Victoria, known for their active behavior. These fish are hardy and can make excellent additions to aquariums, but they require specific care due to their territorial nature and water parameter preferences. They are hardy but sensitive to poor water conditions. Regular water changes (20-30% weekly) are important to maintain clean water, as cichlids produce a lot of waste. Haplochromis Cichlids prefer alkaline water, similar to their natural lake environment.
