The Blue Dolphin Cichlid (Cyrtocara moorii) is a visually striking freshwater fish native to the rocky shores of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. This species is famous for its unique body shape and vibrant blue coloration, which resembles a dolphin, hence its common name. The Blue Dolphin Cichlid is an elegant and peaceful fish, known for its calming demeanor despite being a member of the often aggressive cichlid family. It makes an excellent addition to an African cichlid tank, especially for aquarists looking for a more tranquil cichlid species.
The Blue Dolphin Cichlid stands out in any aquarium with its majestic, bulging forehead and sleek body. The vibrant blue color, combined with the fish’s distinctive shape, adds a touch of beauty and elegance to your aquatic environment. They typically grow to a moderate size of 8-10 inches, making them a perfect medium-sized fish for aquariums with other similarly sized fish. These fish are generally peaceful but can show territorial behavior during breeding or when other males are introduced.
These cichlids thrive in slightly alkaline water with stable conditions and require a well-maintained tank with high filtration. Their omnivorous diet can be easily catered to with specialized cichlid pellets, frozen foods, and occasional vegetable matter.
