Description: The Three Spot Cichlid (Amphilophus trimaculatum) is a large, red-eyed, and colorful Central American cichlid, which takes it’s name from the 3 distinct spots running down its lateral line, and whose natural habitat is in large lakes and slow moving rivers where is lives among submerged roots and branches.Also known as the Trimac or Red-eyed Cichlid, they are fairly aggressive, predatory, and dig prodigiously. Therefore, a single specimen housed alone makes for a highly interesting “pet fish”, as do a mated pair. Otherwise, a single specimen with comparably sized fish, in a very large aquarium, are the best tank mates.They will eat anything that they can fit in their mouth and rearrange the aquarium as they see fit: so give them a natural gravel substrate, rocks and bog wood, but most plants will not survive.
