Medium Electric Yellow Cichlid

🐠🏡 Seeking Loving Homes for Electric Yellow Cichlids! 🏡🐠

https://www.jraar.org/product-page/medium-electric-yellow-cichlid

At J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue, we're on a mission to find forever homes for some adorable Electric Yellow Cichlids! These vibrant freshwater beauties were surrendered by their owner during the Exotic Pet Surrender Event in Oshkosh on 3/2/24 due to a move.

Electric Yellow Cichlids are not just your ordinary fish – they're a popular choice amongst aquarium enthusiasts! Originating from the central western coastal region of Nkhata Bay in Lake Malawi, East Africa, they bring a touch of exotic elegance to any aquarium setup.


Did you know? These stunning cichlids are mouthbrooders, with the females delicately caring for their eggs until they hatch and are ready to explore the world on their own.


If you're looking to add a splash of color and charm to your aquatic family, consider adopting one (or more!) of these delightful Electric Yellow Cichlids. They're sure to captivate you with their beauty and bring endless joy to your home.

Interested in adopting? Please fill out the adoption application here: https://www.jraar.org/adoption


Don't let these precious fish swim away without a loving home to call their own. Reach out to us today to learn more about adoption requirements and give these cichlids the happy ending they deserve! 🌟🐟

Today, the College of Shawano Community High School hosted the first Exotic Pet Surrender Event of the year, organized by J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes, WAMSCO, and the Menominee County Conservation/Forestry/Zoning Department. The event was generously sponsored by Petco Love.

This event marked the first of 29 Exotic Pet Surrender Events planned for 2025. These events provide a vital, judgment-free space for pet owners to surrender exotic animals they can no longer care for. In a heartwarming show of responsibility and compassion, two animals were surrendered: a Chinese algae eater and a ball python affectionately named Sirius Black.

“Our Exotic Pet Surrender Events fill a critical need in communities where rehoming options for exotic animals are limited,” said Melissa Gassner, JRAAR's Surrender Event Specialist. “By providing a safe, accessible, and stigma-free environment, we ensure that these animals find the care they need while protecting our ecosystems from potential harm.”

Participants were also treated to educational opportunities, including a chance to meet animal ambassadors and learn about their unique stories. The event’s photobooth offered a fun way for attendees to capture memories alongside rescued pets, further fostering connections between people and animals.

Surrendered animals will undergo a brief quarantine period before becoming available for adoption through JRAAR, ensuring they find new, loving homes.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue invites the community to stay informed about future events and explore adoptable pets by visiting their website at www.jraar.org. Upcoming Exotic Pet Surrender Events, as well as other programs and resources, will be regularly updated online.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue extends its gratitude to event partners and sponsors for their dedication to improving outcomes for exotic pets and raising awareness about responsible pet ownership.

For more information about future events or to learn more about exotic pet rehoming options, contact John Moyles at [email protected] or call 920-419-8839.

Together, we can build a brighter future for these incredible creatures.
