The Red Forest Jewel Cichlid (Hemichromis lifalili) is a striking freshwater fish known for its vibrant red and green coloration, often with iridescent blue or green spots. These cichlids are native to West Africa and are relatively easy to care for, thriving in a wide range of water parameters. However, they are known for their aggressive behavior, especially during breeding, so they are best kept in a monospecies tank or in a highly stocked cichlid tank to minimize territorial disputes.
