Quick Overview

All Cichlids sold on this site are 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches in length except for Tanganyika cichlids, which are 1.25 to 2 inches. All of these small fish are sold as unsexed juveniles. Larger sizes, when available will be posted in the drop down menu in the price section of the description page. Purchasing 4 to 6 unsexed juveniles is the best formula for getting a compatible pair.

Product Description

Caquetaia umbrifera, called umbee. Some still refer to this fish as a cichlasoma others Caquetaia but actually it has just been re categorized as Nandopsis. What ever you call it, it is a BIG fish! They have been known to get 2 foot in length. Like many of the large guapotes this fish will spawn at a relative small size. The video is of a pair I owned that spawned when the female was only 4 inches and the male at 7 or so inches. Note the bright yellow color of the female and the dark color of the male. They are a beautiful to have for the dedicated hobbyist. They need a big tank and good food. They are a real trophy fish in the hobby.
