With its docile temperament and unique white, black, and red coloring the Black Belt Cichlid makes for an intriguing and beautiful foray into fishkeeping!
Lisa Tuttle - 2012-07-15 I have a Blackbelt that is a good 6 to 7 inches. She I think is rearranging my tank literally. I only have 1 but wondering if she may be trying to lay eggs or what? She has just started this and I have seen her pick up huge pea gravel rocks that I have in my 120 gallon. She next to a rainbow cichlid is the most AWESOME fish and grows at a fast rate.
