🐟 Whitespot Eartheater - (Satanoperca leucosticta) – Peaceful South American Cichlid

The Whitespot Eartheater (Satanoperca leucosticta) is a peaceful and elegant South American cichlid named for its unique feeding behavior of sifting through the substrate for food. Its shimmering silver body is adorned with tiny white speckles that resemble stars, creating a stunning visual effect in the aquarium. This species is known for its calm demeanor, making it an excellent choice for community tanks with other peaceful fish.

Native to slow-moving rivers and floodplains, the Whitespot Eartheater thrives in aquariums with sandy substrates, gentle water flow, and plenty of open swimming space. It does best in groups and will reward keepers with its graceful swimming and natural foraging behavior.
