Introducing New Fish
Five-Barred Lamprologus Cichlid
Neolamprologus Tretocephalus
It is usually found in relatively shallow waters of Lake Tanganyika, in both rocky areas and intermediate zones with scattered rocks over sandy bottoms.
Much of the aquarium should contain piles of rocks arranged to form caves with areas of open water between. A sandy substrate is best. Efficient filtration is essential due to this species‘ carnivorous diet and subsequent high levels of waste.
Diet:
Offer a varied diet of meaty live and frozen foods and good quality cichlid pellets.
Behaviour:
An aggressive and territorial species whose tankmates should be chosen with care. It can be maintained successfully with other medium-sized Tanganyikan cichlids that occupy different areas of the tank such as Cyprichromis species.

Max Size: 15cm
