These smaller cichlids native to lake Tangyanika are a great addition to a rift lake biotope, or with their docile temperament they can even be added to the community aquarium with caution. With their stunning colours they will be the jewel of your tank! They have a relatively small adult size and can be safely kept in a tank as little as 20 gallons.
