ℹ️ Overview

The Wolf cichlid, also known as Parachromis dovii, is a striking freshwater fish boasting vibrant colors, usually combining hues of blue, green, and yellow, and can sport a pattern of black bars or speckles along its body. Native to Central America, this species inhabits waters from Honduras to Costa Rica. Known for its robust and elongated body, the Wolf cichlid can grow quite large, making it a formidable presence in any aquarium. Despite its impressive appearance, it is not as widespread in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its aggressive nature and large size, which require experienced care and spacious tank conditions.
