The pearl cichlid has an average lifespan of 4-5 years, and can live longer with good care. It is easy to keep but prone to white spot disease, usually from poor water quality, so change water regularly and keep temperature and quality stable.
Feed it scientifically; it likes small fish and shrimp, but ensure live food is clean and harmless.
