Although currently considered a form of Cichla Ocellaris,\u00a0it is likely that the Brokopondo variant may be a distinct species. Like all Cichla, they are large, powerful, predatory fish and should be kept by experienced aquarists with suitably large aquariums to house these fish as adults.<\/p>\n<p><b>Diet:<\/b> The Brokopondo is a Predator and live fish eater, so some feeder fish will be required.
