How to catch Blue Neon Cichlid
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Habitat: Mountain Lake. Distribution: Islet Specialty from Taffeh Zone T31 — this is an islet specialty, so plan it into a Starsea Voyage rather than a planet sweep..
Season: Year-Round. Time: All Day. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

The Blue Neon Cichlid is relatively small in size, which puts them at a disadvantage in natural competition. To cope with this, they typically adopt strategies of evasion and concealment, quickly hiding in protective rock caves at the slightest disturbance.
However, should they feel that their "ownership" of the cave is threatened, they can display rare bursts of aggression.
