Marlier's Julie (Julidochromis marlieri) is a Lake Tanganyika rock cichlid, also known as Spotted Julie or Chequered Julie.
| Adult size | Up to about 13 cm total length |
|---|---|
| Minimum aquarium | 150 litres or more for a pair and rock territories |
| Water | 22-25°C, pH 7.5-9.0, hard alkaline water |
| Diet | Omnivore; quality cichlid pellets and frozen foods |
| Temperament | Territorial around caves and breeding sites |
Build stable rockwork with caves, crevices and broken sight lines. Pairs can be rewarding, but they need space to claim territory and should not be crowded with delicate community fish.
