The Ellioti Cichlid (Thorichthys maculipinnis, formerly Thorichthys ellioti) is a striking Central American species admired for its vibrant pinkish-red underbelly, iridescent turquoise spangles, and prominent black lateral spot.

Short Description & Highlights

The Ellioti Cichlid (approx. 2.0–2.5 inches / 5–6.5 cm) is a relatively peaceful, medium-sized Cichlid native to slow-flowing rivers in Mexico.
