Overview

Blue Guianacara (Guianacara owroewefi) is a South American cichlid with a dark flank marking and attractive blue highlights. It searches through the substrate for food and is best enjoyed in a spacious, carefully arranged aquarium.

Behaviour

Generally less combative than many similarly sized cichlids, but breeding pairs become territorial. Use wood and rocks to interrupt sightlines and provide several sheltered areas.

Tank Size

Plan for adults around 12–15 cm. A 200-litre aquarium with a 120 × 40 cm footprint is a starting point; groups and breeding territories need more space. Use fine sand rather than sharp gravel, and secure heavy decorations.

Compatibility

Choose suitably sized, peaceful to moderately robust fish. Avoid tiny fish, delicate shrimp and aggressive cichlids. Monitor individuals closely when a pair forms.

Diet

Feed quality sinking cichlid pellets alongside varied frozen invertebrates. Offer manageable portions so food is eaten promptly.

Care

Maintain approximately 24–28°C and pH 6.0–7.5 with effective filtration and regular water changes. Provide open sand areas and keep oxygen levels high.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes using conditioned, temperature-matched water.
