Albino Red Top Jewel Cichlid Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Albino Red Top Jewel Cichlid in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters) for a single specimen, 55 gallons (208 liters) for a pair
• Compatibility: Best kept alone or in a species-specific tank. Can be housed with robust, similarly sized, and equally aggressive cichlids in very large aquariums with ample hiding spots and territory demarcation. Avoid small, docile, or long-finned tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with plenty of hiding places (caves, driftwood, rocks) to establish territories. Substrate should be sand or fine gravel. Live plants may be uprooted, so sturdy, rooted plants or artificial plants are recommended. Excellent water quality is crucial, with regular water changes.
