Description

Vieja maculicauda “Black Belt”, commonly called the Black Belt Cichlid, is a vibrant Central American cichlid distinguished by its metallic green-blue-gold body and a bold black horizontal stripe across its midsection. Males display intense colors, while females show softer silver tones, creating a stunning contrast in any large aquarium.


Active, intelligent, and moderately territorial, the Black Belt Cichlid thrives in tanks with sandy substrates, rocks, and driftwood, allowing natural territories to form. Its vivid coloration and dynamic behavior make it a true centerpiece for experienced aquarists.
