Description
Thorichthys pasionis – commonly known as the Yellow Meeki or the Pasión Cichlid – is a vibrant, hardy species that originates from the rivers and lagoons of Central America, particularly the Yucatán Peninsula. Known for its stunning yellow to golden body and striking turquoise-blue highlights along the fins, T. pasionis adds a splash of color to any aquarium.
This cichlid has a relatively peaceful temperament compared to other Central American species, making it compatible with similar-sized tankmates in a community setting. It thrives in tanks with ample hiding spots, sand substrate, and stable water conditions, mimicking its natural habitat. Reaching around 5 to 6 inches in length, Thorichthys pasionis enjoys a varied diet, including quality pellets, frozen, and live foods, which help maintain its vivid coloring.
Ideal for aquarists looking to add a manageable, unique, and beautiful cichlid to their collection, T. pasionis is both captivating and rewarding to care for!
