The Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlid (Nannacara anomala) is a small, attractive South American cichlid known for its shimmering blue-green body and distinctive golden eye. This species is popular among aquarists for its manageable size, interesting behaviour, and suitability for well-planted aquariums.

Males display vibrant metallic colours, particularly when mature or during breeding displays, while females develop deeper coloration and strong protective instincts when guarding eggs. Despite being a cichlid, the Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlid is generally peaceful when kept with suitable tank mates and enough space.

This species is a good choice for aquarists interested in dwarf cichlids that exhibit natural behaviours such as territorial displays, spawning, and parental care.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Adult Size: 6–8 cm
  • Body Shape: Compact, laterally compressed cichlid body
  • Colouration: Males display iridescent blue-green scales with a metallic sheen and distinctive golden eyes. Females are darker with more subdued coloration but can develop stronger markings during breeding.
  • Sexual Dimorphism: Males are larger and more colourful with extended finnage, while females are smaller and often darker in colour.
  • Lifespan: 5–7 years

Behaviour & Temperament:

  • Temperament: Generally peaceful but territorial during breeding
  • Swimming Level: Lower to mid levels
  • Social Behaviour: Best kept as a pair or single specimen in community aquariums
  • Recommended Group Size: Single fish or bonded pair
  • Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlids are relatively calm for a cichlid species and spend much of their time exploring the lower areas of the aquarium. They can become protective of territory when spawning.

Aquarium Requirements:

  • Minimum Tank Size: 60 litres
  • Water Temperature: 23–28°C
  • pH Range: 6.0–7.5
  • Water Hardness: 2–12 dGH
  • Water Flow: Gentle to moderate
  • Substrate: Sand or fine gravel
  • Aquascape: Planted aquarium with driftwood, caves, and shaded areas for hiding
  • Lighting: Low to moderate

Feeding:

Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlids are omnivores and accept a varied diet:

  • High-quality micro pellets or cichlid pellets

  • Frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp

  • Live foods including daphnia or mosquito larvae

  • Occasional vegetable-based foods

Feed small amounts once or twice daily.

Compatibility:

Suitable Tank Mates:

  • Small tetras

  • Rasboras

  • Corydoras catfish

  • Dwarf gouramis

  • Peaceful community fish

Avoid Housing With:

  • Large aggressive cichlids

  • Highly territorial fish

  • Fin-nipping species

Breeding:

Spawning Type: Cave spawner

Breeding Difficulty: Moderate

Breeding Notes:

  • Females typically lay eggs inside caves or sheltered areas

  • The female guards eggs and fry closely

  • Males defend the surrounding territory during spawning

Special Considerations:

Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlids benefit from a well-structured aquarium with plenty of hiding spaces and stable water conditions. Providing caves or dense plants helps reduce stress and encourages natural breeding behaviour.

SMELL is not so great. A bit pricey for kid shoes.
These are very cute and sparkly, just as a jelly should be. They are true to size and easy to learn how to buckle. I'm glad it's not velcro buckles as those easily fall apart. These jellies will definitely last. I assume that's why this brand 'mini melissa' is a bit more pricey, but 89 dollars for kid shoes they will grow out of in a year?! I have seen others not so expensive of the same brand. Not sure why these are so high. I don't think it's worth the money unless they're taken down a notch. They SMELL, which others love but I cannot stand the smell. Honestly like a park restroom air freshener or urinal cake. It stunk up the whole garage. And they are purposefully stored outside or in the garage for that reason. Not allowed in the house. It's been a month and they still are so strongly smelly. I wish there was a 'non scented' if that's possible. A good brand, but the smell is awful and the price isn't as fair for kid shoes.

Couldn’t be happier that Jelly’s are back!!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These are such fun little sandals for kids. The jelly style gives them a playful look, and they go with so many outfits. I love that they can be dressed up a bit or worn casually for everyday play. They’re super easy to clean, which is huge for kids’ shoes. Whether they get dirty outside or at the park, you can just wipe them down and they look good as new. They also feel sturdy and hold up really well with regular use. The fit is secure and they stay on without any issues, which is always something I look for in kids’ shoes. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear too. Pros: Easy to clean, durable, secure fit, versatile style. This will sound weird but these shoes smell so good! Even my daughter thought so. Cons: None so far.

Fun Y2K Heels for Kids
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These heels are absolutely adorable and bring a real fun Y2K vibe, perfect for an older kid who wants to add some sparkle to their outfit. The main material is a soft, jelly-style plastic which feels quite flexible. It does have a distinct, strong scent, but it's not unpleasant at all; just something to note when you first unbox them. The color is a lovely pink with gold sparkles mixed in. While it has a slightly more orange hue than I expected from the photos, it still looks really cool and vibrant. What stands out with these is how surprisingly practical they are for heels. The heels themselves are thick and provide solid balance, and the traction on the sole is good, making them easy to walk and even be active in. The insole has some light padding, adding to the comfort. In terms of fit, they run a little small, so keep that in mind when ordering, though they were close enough. My only minor gripe is the buckle; it's a standard plastic and metal clasp that you have to fasten each time, which isn't quite as convenient as some other kids' shoes that use a faux buckle with velcro underneath. Despite that, they're a really cute and well-designed pair of shoes for a young fashionista.
