Product description

Lemon Cichlid (Neolamprologus leleupi)
Bright, bold, and full of personality, the Lemon Cichlid is a standout in any freshwater setup. Native to Lake Tanganyika in Africa, this stunning species displays a vibrant yellow to deep orange coloration and thrives in rocky aquariums with plenty of hiding spots. A hardy and relatively peaceful Tanganyikan cichlid, the Neolamprologus leleupi is best kept with similarly tempered species in a well-maintained environment. These cichlids reach about 4 inches in length and are known for their curious and territorial behavior, especially during breeding. A perfect choice for advanced hobbyists looking to add a splash of color and unique behavior to their African cichlid collection.
