The Keyhole Cichlid is a peaceful and intelligent freshwater fish known for its subtle beige and brown coloration, with a distinctive "keyhole" marking on its body. Unlike many other cichlids, this species is calm and shy, making it an excellent choice for community tanks. It thrives in well-planted aquariums with caves and hiding spots, where it can feel secure.
