Remarks: Paracyprichromis nigripinnis "Blue Neon" are fairly peaceful cichlids from Tanganyika. Paracyprichromis spp. are long and slender and look like Cyprichromis, only they are beige instead of gray when not colored up. They prefer to be near rocks, rather than in the open water like 'Cyps, but otherwise they are similar to them. 

Due to the sensitive nature of these fish, DOA claims will only be honored if the fish are in their sealed bags. No exceptions will be made for losses that occur after opening the bags. 

  As these are social fish, we sell them in groups of 3, 6, or more.
