Pink Convict Cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata – Pink Morph)
The Pink Convict Cichlid is a selectively bred color morph of the standard Convict Cichlid, known for its soft pink to peach body tone and red-tinted eyes. Despite its delicate appearance, this fish shares the bold, assertive personality of its wild-type relatives. It’s a hardy, active species that adapts well to a variety of aquarium conditions. Pink Convicts are best suited to cichlid-specific setups or tanks with equally robust tankmates. During breeding, they become highly territorial and display fascinating parental care behaviors.
