Cichlids are one of the most diverse fish families in the hobby. From tiny apistogrammas to massive oscars, this guide covers the basics of keeping them well.
Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Dull Slender Cichlid (Paracyprichromis brieni) is a graceful Lake Tanganyika cichlid for aquarists who can maintain hard, alkaline water. It is much calmer than many rock-dwelling African cichlids and looks best when kept as a planned group with open swimming room.
Keep this species in a stable Tanganyikan aquarium with mineral-rich water, open mid-water space and rockwork for security. Avoid aggressive mbuna-style tank mates; choose calmer Tanganyika species with similar water requirements.
Available livestock is packed for a licensed live-animal courier service and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee when conditions are suitable.
