Cichlasoma Aureum

Hi

Does anyone keep Cichlasoma Aureum as I managed to pick one up from lfs about 2 months ago. If so I was wondering if you could share your experiences about this fish and if you could post some pictures.

never kept them but they are a smaller, less aggressive cousin of the firemouth. the correct name is Thorichthys aureum aka the blue flash. the 2 most important things to remember is don't overfeed and don't turn the temp too high (76 is the absolute highest I'd keep them in).

let's see some pics of your aureum. They are a gorgeous species.
