Haplochromis Red Kadango 3"

Elevate your African cichlid aquarium with the breathtaking beauty of our 3" Red Kadango cichlids. Scientifically known as Copadichromis borleyi, these young adults are at the perfect size to showcase their magnificent, fully developing crimson coloration, making them an instant showstopper in any freshwater tank.

Key Features:

• Intense Crimson and Blue Colors: Male Red Kadango are celebrated for their vibrant, fiery red-orange bodies that contrast beautifully with an iridescent blue head. At 3 inches, this stunning color combination is already a prominent feature, and it will only become more intense as the fish matures.

• Peaceful and Community-Friendly: The Red Kadango is a peaceful member of the Haplochromis family. Its calm demeanor and engaging, curious personality make it an excellent choice for a community tank with other similarly tempered cichlids and non-aggressive tank mates.

   

• Well-Established and Healthy: Our 3" cichlids are past their delicate juvenile stage and are robust, healthy, and ready to thrive in a well-maintained aquarium. You can enjoy their energetic and curious behavior from day one.

• Hardy and Resilient: Known for their hardiness and adaptability, these cichlids are a rewarding choice for both new and experienced hobbyists. With proper care, they will provide years of vibrant beauty.

Ideal Tank Mates:

• Other peaceful Haplochromis species (Haps)

• Peacock cichlids (Aulonocara species)

   

• Synodontis catfish

   

• Other non-Mbuna Lake Malawi cichlids

Care Instructions:

• Tank Size: A minimum of 55 gallons is recommended for a small group.

• Water Parameters: Maintain a stable pH of 7.8-8.6 and a temperature of 76-82°F (24-28°C).

   

• Diet: As omnivores, a high-quality cichlid pellet or flake food is a great staple. For enhanced color and health, supplement their diet with protein-rich frozen foods like mysis shrimp or spirulina-enriched brine shrimp.

   

• Tank Decor: Provide plenty of rock formations and caves to establish territories and provide security. These fish also appreciate open swimming space in the mid-to-upper levels of the tank.
