Overview

Goldeneye Dwarf Cichlids have an appealing compact shape and shimmering adult colours. Their manageable size still comes with a need for clearly separated retreats.

English name Goldeneye Dwarf Cichlid
Latin name Nannacara anomala
Origin Guyana and Suriname
Adult size Males around 7-8 cm; females smaller
Typical lifespan 3-5 years
Temperament Territorial, particularly around breeding sites
Tank level Lower
Social needs Provide room to separate fish if a pair becomes incompatible.

Tank Setup

Aquarium size At least 80 litres with a 75 × 30 cm base for a compatible pair; more for companions.
Temperature 23-27°C
pH 6.0-7.5
Hardness 3-15 dGH
Water type Freshwater

Use a sandy base, wood, plants and sheltered spawning areas, with mature filtration.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Usually manageable with suitable peaceful companions, but a breeding female can defend her young vigorously. Avoid cramped territories and watch pairs closely.

Diet & Feeding

Feed small cichlid pellets and varied frozen invertebrate foods; ensure both fish feed.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.
