Description
Neolamprologus cylindricus (5-6 cm)
Cichlid from Lake Tanganyika - slender shape and territorial behaviour
Neolamprologus cylindricus is a cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika, much appreciated for its elongated silhouette, dark vertical stripes and typically territorial behaviour. It lives in shallow rocky areas, where it defends a cavity or crevice.
It is ideal for a Tanganyika biotope aquarium structured with stones, fine sand and clear observation areas. Cohabitation with other Tanganyika species should be carefully considered.

- Can be kept in pairs or alone
- Digs and defends its rocky territory
- Spectacular behaviour during reproduction

Aquabota tip
To limit aggression, structure the tank with rock walls to visually separate territories. A décor based on "compartmentalised zones" makes it easier for Tanganyika species to live together.
