Central American Cichlids all require similar water parametres and care.
Most Central American Cichlids grow quite large and require large tanks and a very high standard of filtration.
They prefer soft acidic water and a meaty protein based diet.
A lot of these cichlids do like to move tank decorations round and dig in the substrate and become aggressive over territory especially when breeding.
