For African Cichlid collectors looking for an uncommon and unique species then the flame-back cichlid would be a great consideration. These are a medium size growing cichlid reaching around 10cm and are native to lake Victoria in Africa. Due to the introduction of the Nile perch into lake Victoria, this species has taken a hit in population due to predation. Keeping these stunning fish in captivity is a great way to ensure that the species remains alive for generations to come. With a large enough tank, these fish are quite easy to keep and their beauty makes them a fantastic display tank consideration.

fantastic little fish review by MickI bought 4 of these little guys 5 months ago. 2 males and 2 females, the dominant male has great colours.
They are busy little guys in more ways than one, they have just had there second batch of fry. The first batch I did not know about and only 2 have survived, the second batch how ever is about 30 to 40 strong and 2 weeks in have not lost any. This is my first tank so I am pretty stoked with these guys breading. The other female has eggs again as well.
Very enjoyable little fish although the male is a little bit of a bully but does no damage to the other fish.Posted on
