The albino Compressiceps cichlid is very active and adds a lot of visual interest to the tank. It eats well on a mix of pellets and frozen foods. Needs a stable environment with plenty of hiding spots. Very healthy after three months.

Great fish with a unique coloration. It’s not the most social, but it’s peaceful in a well-maintained tank. Feeding it a varied diet keeps it active and healthy.
