The Black Convict Cichlid (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus), also known as the Zebra Cichlid, is a freshwater fish native to the warm rivers of South America.

It will mostly be found in larger streams and rivers, sheltering itself near rocks and sunken branches.

They are one of the most popular members of the Cichlidae family behind Oscars and Angelfish. Their popularity in the fishkeeping world is due to their hardiness, low care needs and vibrant coloring. It also makes an outstanding beginner breeder fish due to their receptiveness to mate.

Males will grow up to 6 inches long and females to 4.5 inches. They are a small fish that don't require much tank space; the minimum recommend size is 30 gallons.

Generally for beginners, they should only be placed in a tank with other Convicts due to their aggressive and territorial nature.
