Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra Tanganyikan African Cichlids 5cm

Overview: The Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra is a strikingly vibrant and active fish, known for its elongated body and distinct horizontal stripes. Its peaceful nature and shimmering colors make it a captivating choice for aquarium enthusiasts. Growing up to 4-5 inches in length, these fish are perfect for adding movement and color to any tank.

Origin: Native to the deep, rocky shores of Lake Tanganyika in Africa, the Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra thrives in a habitat that is rich in oxygen and has plenty of hiding spaces. Their natural environment influences their care in captivity, making it essential to replicate their home waters as closely as possible.

Feeding: This species prefers a diet rich in high-quality, protein-based foods. Offer a variety of foods such as spirulina, brine shrimp, and krill to ensure balanced nutrition. They are open water feeders, so floating or slowly sinking foods are ideal to meet their natural feeding behavior.

Tank Mates: The Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra is best kept with other similarly sized and temperament Tanganyikan cichlids or non-aggressive fish. Avoid housing them with large, territorial, or overly aggressive species to prevent stress and potential harm.

Aggression: These fish are generally peaceful and display minimal aggression towards tank mates. However, males can sometimes show territorial behaviors during breeding. Providing ample space and hiding spots can mitigate most aggressive tendencies.

Experience Level: Due to their specific water parameter requirements and dietary needs, the Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists who are familiar with the care of Tanganyikan cichlids.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 74-79°F (23-26°C)
  • pH: 8.0-9.0
  • Hardness: 10-20 dGH

Maintaining stable water conditions and regular water changes are crucial to keeping these beautiful fish healthy and vibrant.

Bring the allure of Lake Tanganyika into your home with the Cyprichromis Kipili Zebra – a true gem for the discerning aquarist.
