Description
The Trimac Cichlid (Amphilophus trimaculatus) is a powerful and highly sought-after Central American cichlid known for its impressive size, bold personality, and vibrant coloration. As they mature, Trimacs develop brilliant shades of green, blue, yellow, and orange, with many specimens displaying a pronounced nuchal hump that makes them a true centerpiece in any large aquarium.
At approximately 3 inches, these juveniles are well-established and beginning to show their adult colors and unique personality. Trimacs are intelligent fish that quickly recognize their owners and often interact during feeding time.
