Description
The Black Orange Dorsal Lithobates Otopharynx is a visually stunning African cichlid from Lake Malawi, celebrated for its bold black body and vivid orange dorsal stripe. This captivating fish is relatively peaceful compared to other cichlid species, making it an excellent choice for aquarists with semi-aggressive tank mates like Peacocks and Haps.
Native to the rocky and sandy habitats of Lake Malawi, this species thrives in tanks with plenty of caves for hiding and open areas for swimming. Known for its unique mouthbrooding breeding behavior, the female carries eggs and fry in her mouth until they are ready to swim independently, providing an engaging experience for aquarists.
With its hardy nature, the Black Orange Dorsal adapts well to a range of water conditions and enjoys a diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, flakes, and occasional treats like brine shrimp and spirulina. Stable water parameters and thoughtful tank setups bring out their vibrant colors and lively personality.
Add elegance and energy to your aquarium with the Black Orange Dorsal Lithobates Otopharynx, a fish that combines striking beauty with fascinating behavior.
