Livingstones Cichlid

Haplochromis livingstoni

The Livingstone Cichlid is a handsome fish from Lake Malawi in Africa. There is little colour difference between male and female.

The Livingstone Cichlid requires a tank of at least 400 litres or more with plenty of rocks for territories, sand and gravel substrate and hardy plants; they also need a lot of swimming space so a large tank is recommended. The Livingstone cichlid is an 'utaka' fish, which are usually more peaceful then mbuna cichlids, but it can hold its own when provoked, so should only be kept with larger fish; it is not suitable for a community setup

The Livingstone cichlid will accept flake foods, but some vegetarian matter like nori or algae wafers and meaty foods like brine shrimp and bloodworm should be offered to ensure a healthy diet.

Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 2cm - 4cm
