Giant Checkerboard Cichlid

A rare treat to the trade, the giant checkerboard cichlid is shy and peaceful. These fish are appropriate for small to large aquariums and do well in community fish tank settings. Wild caught on the border region of Peru and Brazil, their entire ecosystem is in peril. Due to overpopulation around the Amazon region a major highway will be built this decade through the Amazon connecting Brazil and Peru and spelling an end to a vast part of the region. Giant “dwarf” checkerboard cichlids are at their best in a peaceful planted community tank with lower Ph. They eat flake and pellet food. These fish are best kept in small groups.

We guarantee live arrival. This will cover any issues with shipping that might impair the health of the fish.

We do not guarantee fish beyond one week of the day of arrival. Please research the requirements for each fish to ensure a suitable environment, food, and compatible tank mates.Water quality, incompatibility with the fish tank, diet, or other challenges of the hobby are the responsibility of the hobbyist.

A World of Fish is opposed to the gimmick of extremely long guarantees offered by a few online stores and we feel this practice will promote careless fish care. For the good of the hobby we offer lower prices and a reasonable guarantee.

We ship hundreds of boxes each week and our DOA (dead on arrival) record is excellent, but nature will be nature and not all boxes are delivered with perfection.

In the rare event of a loss, please contact our Customer Support Department when the fish arrive. To file a DOA claim, follow the steps below:

1) Upon arrival, please send a photo (less than 5MB) of the lost specimen to: support@lightaquatics.store No videos can be accepted.

2) Please include "DOA", your Order Number in the subject line. (Example DOA #1234). In the body of the email, include your name and item name with quantity of deceased specimens.

Once we receive a valid claim, we will refund you for the value of the fish in full within 5 business days.
