Description
Originating from the rocky shores of Lake Tanganyika, the Red Rainbow Tropheus showcases a vivid mix of red and orange, highlighted by iridescent blue along the dorsal fin. Growing up to 6 inches in length, these cichlids are highly social and perform best in groups within structured aquarium settings that reflect their natural rocky habitats. Such environments should feature abundant rocky formations and minimal substrate to support their natural grazing behavior.
While the Red Rainbow Tropheus can be aggressive, especially during breeding, they generally maintain a peaceful coexistence with similarly sized species when provided with adequate space and environmental enrichment. They thrive in water with a pH of 8.0 to 9.0 and temperatures from 74 to 80°F.
Dietarily, these herbivores require high-quality, vegetable-based foods to support digestive health and avoid common issues like bloat. Occasional additions of vitamin-rich supplements can enhance their color and vitality.
