Its active demeanor and striking appearance make it a captivating addition to any aquarium. Origin: Hailing from the rocky shores of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa, these cichlids thrive in rocky habitats with plenty of crevices for shelter. Feeding: Their diet consists of high-quality flake or pellet food supplemented with live or frozen fare like brine shrimp or bloodworms. They also relish in occasional vegetable matter. Tank Mates: Best suited for a Tanganyikan biotope setup, they coexist well with other similarly sized Tanganyikan cichlids, such as Julidochromis and Altolamprologus species. Ensure adequate territory space to minimize aggression. Aggression: Moderate aggression levels are typical, especially when defending territory or during breeding. Provide plenty of hiding spots to mitigate potential conflicts. Experience Level: Intermediate to experienced aquarists will appreciate their care needs. Knowledge of cichlid behavior and tank management is beneficial for their optimal well-being. Water Parameters: Maintain water conditions with a pH range of 7.8-9.0 and temperatures between 75-80°F (24-27°C). Adequate filtration and regular water changes are crucial for their health.
