Hemichromis lifalilli Red Forest Jewel Cichlid $9.99 The Jewel Cichlid hails from rivers and tributaries of the Congo basin. It is quite aggressive for its size. It is attractive, with a bright red-orange coloration and rows of iridescent blue-green spots along the flanks and a black spot on each gill and side. Because of its aggression level, they are unsuitable for community aquaria with small or very docile fish. The water quality for keeping the Jewel cichild is similar to South American requirements, slightly soft with low pH, despite its West African origins. Jewels may be fed a balanced diet of flake, pellets, spirulina, and meaty frozen foods on occasion. They require plenty of cover in their decor, plants and driftwood work well. They keep a large territory, so be sure they have ample room in your tank, or territoriality issues may arise. |

Hemichromis elongatus Banded Jewel Cichlid $14.99 Originating from rivers from Guinea to Angola in Western Africa, Hemichromis elongatus is similar to other jewel cichlids H. fasciatus and H. frempongi, which are predatory jewels. It is attractive, with golden brown or olive coloration with black bars from the eyes to the base of the tail. A magenta spot decorates each gill plate. Despite the fact that this is an African fish, the water quality for keeping Jewel cichilds is very similar to South American requirements, slightly soft with low pH. Jewels need a balanced diet of flake, pellets, and meaty frozen foods for good health and color. They require plenty of cover in their decor, plants, wood and caves work well. They keep a large territory, so be sure they have ample room in your tank, or aggression may ensue. This is a predatory species, and small fish will not be safe in the same aquarium. Choose tankmates that will be large enough not to become prey, and tough enough to handle some prodding. |

Steatocranus gibbiceps Gibbiceps Buffalo Head Cichlid $16.99 The Gibbiceps Buffalo Head is another species of this interesting West African genus. This species is found in the swift moving waters of the lower Congo River and its Zaire tributaries. This fish is rather timid and shy and will typically find a favorite spot and remain in or near that locale. Males can be aggressive with each other, and territoriality could cause minor aggression towards other tankmates as well. Tankmates can range from slightly aggressive cichlids to peaceful barbs, rainbows, and other similar fish. This fish spends most of its time on the bottom, and it likes sandy substrate and lots of water movement. Decor can consist of rock caves, driftwood, and plants. This fish will accept a wide variety of foods including frozen, flake, and pellet. |

Iodotropheus sprengerae Rusty Cichlid – Juvenile $8.99 These beautiful mbuna, or rock-dwelling cichlids were one of the first species exported from Lake Malawi. The Rusty Cichlid has a rounder head and the basic shape of a Pseudotropheus cichlid. Males usually have intense rust-coloration around their head and violet-blue on the flanks. They are not aggressive towards most tankmates, but may show aggression with other males, especially in the presence of females. They are mouthbrooders, meaning the female holds the eggs and young fry in her mouth for protection. Feed a diet of cichlid flakes, or pellets and supplemental spirulina . They enjoy a tank with plenty of rockwork to explore. |

Albino Zebra Cichlid (3 Length) $14.99 Albino Zebra Cichlid Also known as Albino Zebra Mbuna, Mbuna, or Malawi Zebra Lacking any distinct color or striping present in other similar fish, the Albino Zebra Cichlid may have hints of powder blue in its accents. This is one of many color morphs for the Zebra Cichlid. Somewhat of an instigator, this fish needs plenty of décor, rocks, and valleys to establish its territories to reduce aggression. Without these, other tankmates will be bullied by this fish. Territories are established through the strength and bold behavior of the male. Ideal tankmates include Synodontis catfish, mbunas, Aulonocara cichlids, and smaller haplochromines. |
