This dwarf cichlid is one of the most peaceful cichlid species available—and a standout choice for planted aquariums! The Golden Dwarf Cichlid (Nannacara anomala) is an ideal beginner-friendly fish with a lot of personality and plenty of potential for breeding projects. Males feature a glowing iridescent blue body with golden-yellow fins, while females show a lovely yellow base color and a striking checkerboard pattern during spawning. This species thrives in well-structured tanks with sandy substrate, driftwood, clay pots, or rock formations to provide shelter. Though peaceful overall, Golden Dwarf Cichlids can become territorial during breeding. They do well in community tanks when given ample space and hiding places but should not be kept with dwarf shrimp or other small, delicate inverts. Mo
