Polar Blue Cichlid – Striking Hybrid with Personality and Charm
The Polar Blue Cichlid is a stunning hybrid between a convict cichlid and a parrot cichlid, combining the best of both worlds—bold coloration and a friendly, manageable nature. Its powdery blue body is accented with dark vertical bars and a slightly rounded face, giving it a unique appearance that stands out in any freshwater aquarium.
Known for their hardiness and adaptability, Polar Blue Cichlids are moderately territorial but generally peaceful compared to other Central American cichlids. Their active behavior, curious personality, and striking good looks make them a popular choice for hobbyists of all experience levels.
Key Features:
-
Coloration: Bright ice-blue body with dark vertical stripes and pearl-like sheen
-
Temperament: Semi-aggressive—territorial during breeding but peaceful in well-structured tanks
-
Size: Grows up to 6–8 inches
-
Tank Requirements: Minimum 40 gallons with rocks, hiding spots, and moderate flow
-
Diet: Omnivorous—enjoys pellets, flakes, frozen/live foods
-
Compatibility: Best with similarly sized semi-aggressive species like Firemouths, Acara, or larger tetras
The Polar Blue Cichlid brings color, personality, and hybrid hardiness to any aquarium—perfect for aquarists looking for a vibrant centerpiece with an engaging attitude.
