This cichlid is a quiet addition to my tank. It spends most of its time near the sand bed, which is exactly what I wanted. The colour develops well over time and it doesn’t show aggressive behaviour. A great choice for a focused, natural-looking setup.

I appreciate the specificity of this fish. It’s not flashy, but it’s calm and fits well in a stable environment. The sand-dwelling habit is unique and adds realism to my Malawi cichlid tank.

After quarantine, the fish settled in nicely. Its mature colour is subtle but elegant. I didn’t expect much from a sand-associated species, but it’s become a highlight in my aquarium.
