Firemouth Cichlid (Thorichthys meeki) is a type of tropical freshwater fish that is native to Central America. It is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care requirements.

Firemouth Cichlids are typically orange or red in color, with a distinctive black band running along the length of their body. They have long, flowing fins and a stout, stocky body shape, and they can grow to be up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length.

Firemouth Cichlids are generally peaceful fish, although they may become territorial when breeding. They are omnivorous, which means they will eat both plant and animal matter, and they should be fed a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods to ensure proper nutrition.
