Pink Convict Cichlid
Remarks: Convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) are a great beginner cichlid due to their relatively small size and ease of reproduction. They are aggressive when spawning, which is most of the time, but they typically limit their aggression to their immediate surroundings. This strain of convict cichlid has a mutation that causes them to have a pastel pink color with orange and yellow accents instead of their usual silver and black stripes.
