The Texas cichlid, renowned for its pearly iridescence and distinctive speckled beauty, has the potential to grow significantly in your aquarium, requiring ample space in a freshwater tank. Despite its captivating appearance, this species is infamous for its aggressive tendencies. Given their substantial size, these fish demand spacious environments and tankmates tolerant of their behavior. It is crucial to emphasize the importance of not releasing them into the wild once they outgrow the aquarium. Regrettably, non-indigenous populations are currently being exploited for both culinary purposes and recreational fishing.
