- How to Keep Yellow Jacket Cichlids (Parachromis) - a complete Care Guide & Species Profile. In today's video, we focus on keeping Parachromis species, specifically with the Parachromis multifasciatus. A cichlid that has many similarities with the closely related Jaguar cichlid.
Yellow Jackets are Central American cichlids, and it is a part of the Parachromis family. There is definitely some confusion when it comes to its common and scientific names. A few years ago it was reclassified from a Parachromis friedrichsthalii to Parachromis multifasciatus. The freidrichstahlii (also nicknamed freddy) is a closely related species called the loisellei. It gets extra confusing when these cichlids are also called Yellow Jacket cichlids. Regardless, we’re discussing the multifasciatus today, but these similar care requirements could be given to the freddy’s, or even the most popular Parachromis, the Jaguar cichlid.

That thing is stunning wow
Thank you!
That boy got big. I Remember when you first got him
Grew into a beast!
I have been following this channel enjoying the content you 3 brothers make for 2 years now and I feel you each showcase your own personalities through your fish tanks. I personally have been very excited watching your Yellow Jacked cichlid grow out into this beautiful giant, I managed to find someone where I live that sells both rare and stunning cichlids like this Yellow Jacket Cichlid but a 2 hour drive is risky transporting such fish. I am currently growing out a Jaguar cichlid in a 75 gallon baby predator community tank with a Red Terror, a Green Terror, a Salvini, a Jack Dempsey, a rare Silver Vieja Cichlid and my prized Super Red Spotted Severum. I have a 2nd 75 with more aggressive cichlids such as the Midas, a Chili Red Oscar, a Red Mammon Parrot that is absolutely psychotic, a Red Spotted Severum, a Kenyi mbuna, a electric blue johanni mbuna and a Cuban cichlid whom I am scared will try to kill its own mother should he meet her. But surprisingly they all match each others aggression and nobody gets bullied in either tank. I hope all works out well with this fish, not many people seem to want aggressive fish like these, or red devils or flowerhorns or even the Dovii as you mentioned but its truly amazing how fish are so intelligent that they can coexist if given the right conditions and "territory space.
Great info thanks so much😊
Glad it was helpful!

Ur welcome bro
Parachromis are the coolest fish this side of the pond.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this cichlid I grew up with South American and Central American cichlids I thought it was a jaguar cichlid at first until I got a really good look at it🐠💙🔥
Thats a nice looking fish
Thanks!
Красивые и умные питомцы 👍🏻
Great care guide and I had to rewind twice for “Jesus Christ” 😂😂😂
How much food should I give my jaguar cichlid? He’s full grown, about a foot long. I give him a cube of blood worms and a few large cichlid pellets once a day
I have a red tiger… 9 years now yayyyy my baby
Very nice
❤ most beautiful lovely ❤
Thank you! 😊
These are peacocks not imbunas correct?
Neither - this is a Central American cichlid
Hmmm though there were only 2 different kinds! Wouldn't even know where to find those fish, most fish stores sell peacocks and imbunas
You guys planning on getting a Jaguar? :)
Maybe at some point!
10 years?? More like 15 or 20 years A lot of people don’t realize they can live as long as a cat or a dog💯
I said well over 10 years …
Nooo keep them in a non cycled bowl
