Details
Often confused with the Texas Cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatus), the Pearlscale Cichlid (Herichthys carpintis) has speckles that are smaller and appear more green, rather than blue like the Texas Cichlid. However, the Pearlscale shares a similar temperament. These fish are fine with other Central American cichlids, but they will not tolerate other Pearlscale or Texas cichlids. A large tank with ample swimming room and rocks for hiding is ideal.
As for diet, this fish is actually an herbivore, so a good veggie flake, along with the occasional fresh vegetable matter will be a great diet. Every so often, some frozen meaty food would be ok, but not on a regular basis. This fish may develop a nuchal hump on its head as they mature.
