Cichlid - Thorichthys blue aureum
The Blue Aureum is a striking color form of Thorichthys aureum (Golden Firemouth), a medium-sized Central American cichlid from Guatemala and Belize. This variant displays enhanced blue-iridescent scaling across the body and cheeks, complementing the classic red-orange throat that flares during displays. Grows to 5-6 inches. A manageable, moderately aggressive cichlid well-suited to 55+ gallon community cichlid setups with other medium-sized Central American species. The Thorichthys gill-flare threat display is one of the most impressive behaviors in the cichlid family. Feed quality cichlid pellets and frozen foods.
