Description:

The frontosa cichlid is commonly found in several large lakes in East Africa, including the world’s second-longest freshwater lake: Lake Tanganyika. This species spends most of its time in the lake’s depths, surfacing only to find food.

Frontosa cichlids have bold colouring, with five to seven dark bands on a pale or dark blue body. These African cichlids are semi-aggressive and display instinctive territorial behaviours. Frontosa are popular with aquarists due to their ease of care and beautiful colours, despite occasional behavioural issues.

Diet:

Frontosa are omnivorous. They do well with flake or pellet food and can be fed freeze-dried or frozen krill or plankton as a treat.
