Current Size – 3-4cm
Adult Length – 12 cm
Temperature Range – 23 - 28°C

Special Requirements - All African Cichlids are territorial to other males. The more rocks and hiding places they have the better.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility – An excellent choice of fish for the cichlid community tank. It is predominantly a carnivore so it is important to not include any fish small enough to be counted as food.
Feeding – Live and frozen varieties should form the bulk of the diet, although dried foods are usually accepted.
