Maylandia lombardoi

Maylandia lombardoi, also known as the Kenyii Cichlid, is a popular and colorful freshwater species among aquarium enthusiasts. They are known for their bright blue and yellow coloration (females are generally yellow while males sport bright blue and will attain the striking yellow/blue color based on social hierarchy and age). As a Mbuna, it exhibits territorial behaviors, making ample space and rock formations essential in captivity for demarcation. A balanced diet of both protein and vegetable matter is recommended to keep them healthy and vibrant. Maylandia lombardoi showcases fascinating behaviors typical of Lake Malawi cichlids, including mouthbrooding.
