Festive Flag Cichlid Mesonauta Festivus 5cm

Overview: The Festive Flag Cichlid, scientifically known as Mesonauta festivus, is a stunning freshwater fish that brings a splash of color and activity to any aquarium. Renowned for their striking appearance, these cichlids feature a variety of colors, with bodies that can display hues of yellow, red, and green, accented with distinctive black vertical stripes. They grow to an average size of 4-6 inches, making them a manageable size for many home aquariums.

Origin: Native to the vast waterways of South America, specifically the Amazon River basin, the Festive Flag Cichlid thrives in slow-moving or standing waters with plenty of vegetation. They are adaptable fish that can tolerate a range of environments, but they do best in conditions that mimic their natural habitat.

Feeding: Festive Flag Cichlids are omnivores with a preference for a varied diet. In the aquarium, they should be fed a mix of high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes, along with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Vegetable supplements can also be included to ensure a balanced diet. Regular feeding, combined with a variety of food sources, will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.

Tank Mates: These cichlids are generally peaceful but can display territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Suitable tank mates include similarly sized, peaceful fish such as tetras, barbs, and other South American cichlids. It's essential to avoid overly aggressive species that may bully or stress the Festive Flag Cichlids.

Aggression: Mesonauta festivus exhibits low to moderate aggression levels, mainly towards conspecifics or during breeding. Providing ample space, hiding spots, and visual barriers in the aquarium can help minimize aggressive interactions and establish a harmonious community tank.

Experience Level: Festive Flag Cichlids are suitable for intermediate aquarists. They require a bit more attention to water quality and diet than some beginner species but are generally hardy and forgiving of minor mistakes. Enthusiasts who have some experience with maintaining aquariums will find these cichlids a rewarding addition.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 75-84°F (24-29°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-12 dGH
  • Water changes: Regular, to maintain high water quality and reduce nitrates.
Ensuring the right water conditions and providing a well-maintained environment will help your Festive Flag Cichlids thrive. With their captivating appearance and interesting behaviors, they are sure to become a cherished part of your aquatic family.

Durable bone that you can add a spreadable treat to
Color: Blue
Our German Shepherd was 4 months old when we purchased this. She’s going to be 6 months soon. She has been teething really bad. We wanted some way to sooth her pain. This product was just what we needed. We put it in the freezer with some peanut butter in the center on both sides. Once frozen we give to our puppy. She loves it. When we open the freezer she recognizes the ziplock package that it was delivered in which we store it in our freezer. She jumps around until we give it to her. She loves it and it keeps her occupied for a while. It is very durable. I did not notice any smell when we received it. It does not make any noise. The plastic material is safe for animals. To clean I put in the dishwasher. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because sometimes the peanut butter gets stuck in it and may need to go through the dishwasher twice which is not a big deal. Or you can hand wash it. I found the dishwasher was best for us. You do not even have to put anything on it, but our pup likes it. I would recommend to others.

Not made for Golden Retrievers.
Nope. Did not last an hour with our Golden Retrievers. We bought these for Christmas hoping to entertain our 2 and 4 year old Goldens while cleaning their teeth. Within an hour they were destroyed.
