Amphiacanthoides Uaru Cichlid Shrimp Its bizarre appearanceAmphiacanthoides Uaru are such unique fish! They grow to be about 12 and prefer warm water around 80 86F. They are omnivores so should be given a good amount of vegetable and meat in their everyday diet. They are not too aggressive and can be kept with other cichlids such as angelfish or electric blue acaras. Uaru also like to be kept in groups of at least 2, so a large tank is necessary for their large adult size.
