Haplochromis Sulphur Head 3"

Elevate your aquarium's visual appeal with our 3" Haplochromis Sulphur Head cichlids. At this size, these young adults are beginning to fully express the stunning contrast of a brilliant blue body with a vibrant yellow "sulphur" blaze on their head, making them a breathtaking centerpiece.

Key Features:

• Vivid Blue and Sulphur Colors: Males of this species are celebrated for their electric blue bodies accented by a prominent, fiery yellow to orange blaze that runs from their forehead down to their dorsal fin. This unique and beautiful pattern is fully developing at 3 inches, providing an immediate visual impact.

• Peaceful for a Hap: The Sulphur Head is a docile member of the Haplochromis family, making it an ideal choice for a mixed Lake Malawi cichlid tank. They can be housed with other non-aggressive peacocks and haplochromis species, creating a dynamic and peaceful community.

• 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, 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 Aulonocara species (e.g., Eureka Red, German Red)

   

• Peaceful Haplochromis species (e.g., Placidochromis Electra)

• Synodontis catfish

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: Offer a high-quality cichlid pellet or flake food. Supplement with protein-rich frozen foods like mysis shrimp or spirulina-enriched brine shrimp to enhance their brilliant colors.

   

• Tank Decor: Create a stimulating environment with plenty of rock formations and caves to establish territories and provide security. A sandy substrate is ideal, as these fish enjoy sifting through it.
