Gold Ocellatus Cichlid (Lamprologus ocellatus “gold”)
$26.99A colorful and popular shell-dwelling cichlid found in Africa’s Lake Tanganyika, the Gold Ocellatus makes for a unique display fish due to their vivid gold coloration and bold, fascinating behavior. In the wild, these dwarf cichlids inhabit dense fields of empty snail shells at the bottom of the lake, where each fish will stake a territory in an individual shell and defend it from others. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable but prefer alkaline water and should be provided with shells or similar structure for them to establish territories in.

Emperor Cichlid (Boulengerochromis microlepis)
$54.99The largest growing of all African cichlids, the Emperor or Giant Cichlid is native to Lake Tanganyika, where it is typically found in deeper waters up to 200 feet deep. In the wild, juvenile fish are omnivorous like most rift lake cichlids but as they grow they become more predatory. In the aquarium, they are relatively hardy and easy to care for but given their enormous adult size are suitable only for the largest aquariums or indoor ponds. Larger fish are territorial and aggressive like most rift lake cichlids, and if a pair forms they will defend an extremely large territory against any tankmates.
