Treat as any of the Amphilophus species, good quality pellet diet with the odd treat. Suitable tank and water change schedule.
Andy woods cichlids uk Andy woods cichlids uk has a good size male.
Are you getting a solo male or a pair?

I’ve kept almost every other amph and I can assume the care is similar. I get mine on a good pellet for daily feeding and mix in the occasional brine/mysis shrimp every few days just to keep them on their toes. Aside from that, they are pretty hardy and straight forward as far as I can tell.
