Escondido Red Texas Cichlid Herichthys Cyanoguttatus 10cmThe Escondido Red Texas Cichlid is a striking and vibrant freshwater fish, renowned for its unique coloration ranging from intense red to fiery orange patterns against a contrasting base. This variant of the Texas Cichlid showcases a more vivid color palette, making it a prized specimen for enthusiasts. Ideal for aquarists looking to add a splash of color and character to their tanks, this cichlid combines beauty with the fascinating behavior typical of the species.
Origin:
Originally hailing from the lower Rio Grande drainage in Texas and northeastern Mexico, this fish has adapted to a variety of water conditions. The "Escondido" variant is specifically bred for its red coloration, showcasing the incredible diversity within the species.
Feeding:
Escondido Red Texas Cichlids are omnivores with a preference for a varied diet. A combination of high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and chopped market seafood, will ensure vibrant coloration and optimal health.
Tank Mates:
Compatible with other large, similarly aggressive species, it's important to carefully select tank mates to prevent conflicts. Good companions include other large cichlids, robust catfish, and large characins. Avoid smaller, more docile fish that may become targets of aggression.
Aggression:
As with many cichlids, the Escondido Red Texas Cichlid exhibits territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Providing ample space, hiding spots, and strategic tank decoration can mitigate aggression. A larger aquarium is recommended to accommodate their assertive nature.
Experience Level:
Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Their care requires an understanding of cichlid behavior, proper diet, and tank management to address their territorial tendencies and maintain water quality.

Cutting boards will splinter
A lot of the reviews that are saying these wooden boards splinter are true. I was excited to find some nontoxic wooden cutting boards for such a great price. Upon arrival, they seemed pretty decent quality when I pulled them out of the package. I proceeded to use the large one so I gave it a quick rinse with warm water and was taken back by fumes coming off the cutting board and then wiped it down with a white paper towel and my paper towel was brown. I was a little discouraged, but decided to give it a better rinse with a soap, free brush. At that point once I dried it off whatever coding was on it came off and it was rough and splinters everywhere. Definitely a little upset that the splinters could’ve ended up in our food. These are not good quality non-toxic cutting boards I would rather spend a little extra money on a quality board that is not going to sprinter Wood shavings into my food.

Very good, just be sure not to leave in water
Overall, this is a very good product as my wife and I are moving towards non-toxic kitchen materials. My only advice is to make sure to not leave this submerged in water otherwise mold will easily form.

Truly non-toxic but a little rough and uneven
I’m very impressed with the packaging of this. When I first opened the box I was shocked that there was a plastic wrapping around the boards when they promised to be non toxic but then I saw the sticker that the wrapping was not plastic and I was very happy. The boards themselves are pretty nice and a good thickness but the only thing is I feel like the board is a little rough and parts of the board come up and are not smooth.

Not Durable…Splintered….
Had to chuck these. I loved them at first but they are not durable. Scratched themselves up right away and then the mid sized one started to splinter. I didn’t even have it for very long before I had to get rid of them. Long enough to not be able to return. I prefer the bamboo as far as wood goes, but switched to an antibacterial. It’s crazy because I had the same cutting boards for years and in the past month I’ve had to replace them 3 times now. I was so disappointed because there were such amazing reviews. Sadly that was not the case for me. I give it a 3 because they are absolutely beautiful…..you get points for being beautiful I suppose in this world. But not durable. At least not for me.
