Jack Dempsey Cichlid
Rocio octofasciata
Adults live in warm, slow or still freshwater with submerged roots, plants, and rocky shelter. They hunt insects, crustaceans, small fish, and other available aquatic prey, often striking from cover. During breeding, they become notably territorial and defend eggs and young with vigorous displays and bites.
