Turkana Jewel Cichlid Hemichromis Exsul 5cm

Overview: The Turkana Jewel Cichlid, scientifically known as Hemichromis Exsul, is a vibrant and captivating freshwater fish that adds a dash of color and liveliness to any aquarium. With its striking red body adorned with jewel-like spots, this species is a favorite among aquarists looking to elevate their tank's visual appeal. However, it's not just their appearance that makes them stand out; their intriguing behavior and social dynamics contribute to a fascinating aquarium experience.

Origin: Native to the waters of Lake Turkana in Kenya, the Turkana Jewel Cichlid thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitat. This species is accustomed to warm, slightly alkaline water conditions and benefits from a setup that includes plenty of hiding spots among rocks and vegetation.

Feeding: As omnivores, Turkana Jewel Cichlids have a varied diet that should include both plant-based foods and protein-rich options. A combination of high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and vegetable supplements will ensure their nutritional needs are met, contributing to their vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for Turkana Jewel Cichlids is crucial due to their territorial nature. Suitable companions include other similarly sized and temperament cichlids, robust species that can hold their own without provoking aggression. It's advisable to avoid small, timid fish that could become targets for bullying or predation.

Aggression: Turkana Jewel Cichlids exhibit a moderate to high level of aggression, especially during breeding times when they become fiercely protective of their territory. An adequately sized aquarium with plenty of hiding spaces can help mitigate aggressive encounters, ensuring a more harmonious tank environment.

Experience Level: Due to their specific care requirements and aggressive tendencies, Turkana Jewel Cichlids are best suited for intermediate to experienced aquarists. Those with an understanding of cichlid behavior and aquarium management will find these fish a rewarding challenge.

Water Parameters: To thrive, Turkana Jewel Cichlids require water temperatures between 75°F and 82°F (24°C to 28°C), with a pH level ranging from 7.0 to 8.0. Regular water changes and careful monitoring of water quality are essential to maintain the health and well-being of these vibrant fish.

Incorporating Turkana Jewel Cichlids into your aquarium brings a dynamic element to your aquatic ecosystem, combining visual beauty with engaging behavior. With the right care and companions, these jewels of the aquarium world will shine brightly in their aquatic domain.

Very stylish and looks really lovely on the kitchen island. Been using it for over 3 months. only little complain I had is that I wish they do a better job cleaning up the back of the board, there are some wood spike that aren't fully smooth out.

low quality; not as advertised
Low quality. The wood has an unpleasant smell, even after initial washing and thorough drying followed by extensive seasoning. Several of the surfaces of the boards were rough. One board was gouged on the bottom (I typically use both sides of the cutting board). Another board had a small amount of wood filler on the bottom. I was forced to sand most of the surfaces in order to smooth them before I seasoned them. There are gaps in the stand where boards join that are not filled. The boards are purported to be pre-oiled, but I didn't see any evidence of that. The "detachable non-slip rubber feet" are not attached and are a little too hard to be "non-slip". If you want to attach the feet then you are on your own - there are no pilot holes and the screws are not self-tapping. The screws have a conical, tapered head and so they do not match well to the feet - a washer-head screw would be the correct type of fit. Lastly, I don't know my wood types that well, but furniture and cutting board acacia is said to be significantly harder than oak. These cutting boards do not strike me as being as hard as my old oak cutting board.
