Small Tanganyika cichlid - discreet, territorial and very elegant
Julidochromis transcriptus is a dwarf cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika, easily recognised by its streamlined body with black stripes. It is calm but territorial, and generally forms stable pairs. It is a perfect species for aquarists wishing to recreate a rocky Tanganyika biotope in a reasonable volume.
This Julidochromis is a territorial fish , discreet and loyal to its shelter. It is best to keep it :
Carnivorous with a tendency to eat insects:
This cichlid requires hard, alkaline water. We recommend reconstituting the typical parameters of Lake Tanganyika with appropriate mineral salts.
Create a rocky setting with limestone or slate forming caves and crevices. Avoid fragile or demanding plants. A few Anubias or Vallisneria can complete the setting.
