Looking for a rarely seen cichlid? Why not get a Blue Moorii Cyrtocara moorii? (previously Haplochromis moorii) It can get big! Up to almost 10 inches (25.4 cm) in length. The overall coloring is a beautiful blue with various amounts of black markings. It will develop a nuchal hump on its head with age. The combination of its pointy snout and hump makes it look like a dolphin, which is why its commonly called Blue Dolphin Cichlid Generally a peaceful cichlid, but males can be aggressive towards other males of their own kind. They are territorial when spawning, but unlike other cichlids they dont maintain a territory outside of breeding. Peacock cichlids make good tankmates with these gentle giants. It is easy to care for as long as the tank is large enough, with ample room to swim. Stay with us, photos available soon!
