Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus Tanganyikan African Cichlids 3cm "Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus, originating from Lake Tanganyika in Africa, captivates with its striking appearance and intriguing behavior. These cichlids boast a sleek, elongated body adorned with distinct dark spots, showcasing their natural beauty. In their natural habitat, these cichlids feed on small invertebrates and plankton. In captivity, they thrive on a varied diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms. With their moderate temperament, they do best in a community setting with other Tanganyikan cichlids or similarly sized fish. However, they can display territorial behavior, especially during breeding periods. Providing ample hiding spots and territories within the tank helps minimize conflicts. Ideal for intermediate aquarists, Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus requires a well-established aquarium with stable water parameters. They prefer hard, alkaline water with a pH of around 7.8-9.0 and a temperature range of 75-80°F (24-27°C). Overall, these cichlids offer an engaging and visually striking addition to a Tanganyikan biotope or a well-designed community aquarium, rewarding enthusiasts with their unique behaviors and stunning appearance."
