Feisty around breeding time; plan territory in advance

物种概述
Cichlidae species Andinoacara pulcher comes from 大洋洲及印度尼西亚. Territory is its whole worldview; rocks arranged as walls calm what open water cannot. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 12–17.6 cm. Pairs or harems in tanks with broken sightlines. Strong filtration, hardscape boundaries and a steady routine turn a brawler into a showpiece. Maintain 18–23 °C at pH 6.5–8. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
