Dicrossus filamentosus — Checkerboard Cichlid

The Checkerboard Cichlid is a slender, elegant dwarf cichlid from the blackwater rivers of the western Amazon basin, with a distinctive checkered pattern along its flanks and long filamentous fin extensions in mature males. It is a delicate species that demands pristine, very soft and acidic water conditions to stay healthy and show its best colors. Best kept in a densely planted tank with subdued lighting.
