Mloto White Top Cichlid
Copadichromis mloto
Copadichromis mloto is a peaceful, mid-sized haplochromine cichlid from Lake Malawi. Males develop striking metallic blue and yellow coloration, especially during breeding. They can reach up to 15–18 cm and are known for their graceful swimming and open-water feeding behavior. Unlike more aggressive species, C. mloto does well in mixed Malawi setups with other peaceful haps. They prefer spacious tanks with open swimming areas and sandy bottoms, making them ideal for community-style cichlid aquariums.
