STRIPE TAIL WINEMILLERI CICHLID

🐆 Stripe Tail Winemilleri Cichlid – Sleek, Powerful, and Wildly Rare

The Stripe Tail Winemilleri Cichlid is a striking variant of the Cichla genus, often admired for its tiger-like vertical barring, streamlined body, and distinctive horizontal tail stripe that sets it apart from other peacock bass. Native to the Orinoco and Amazon River Basins, this powerhouse predator grows large, eats with intensity, and commands attention in any monster fish display.

Often overshadowed by more common Cichla species, the Winemilleri stands out with its subtle coloration, aggressive feeding response, and fast growth rate.
