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.
