African Cichlid – Tanganyikan – Neolamprologus Sunflower (Neolamprologus Helianthus Sunflower) 5cm

This brilliant orange-gold fish has elongated finnage tipped in white. It can be quite aggressive toward its tankmates, especially if its spawning time! For this reason, it is best to keep helianthus in a species-only tank, with well-established, hardy lamprologines, or a large school of cyprichromis. This fish enjoys plenty of open swimming space as well as lots of rockwork and caves. They are a cave spawner. Plants such as anubias and vallisneria species do well in the higher pH. Feed a variety of meaty foods including a hearty flake, pellet, freeze-dried, and small frozen items
