RED EMPRESS

The Red Empress is a striking African cichlid prized for its vibrant coloration and dynamic personality. Males display brilliant red and blue hues, while females showcase orange and yellow tones that intensify during breeding. These moderately aggressive fish thrive in established tanks with rocky structures and require stable water conditions. Best kept in species-specific or cichlid communities with compatible tank mates, Red Empress cichlids reach 5-6 inches and demand quality filtration and regular maintenance. Their intelligence and interactive behavior make them rewarding for experienced aquarists seeking a visually stunning addition to their collection.
