When in breeding dress, males have an electric blue body, a sunshine yellow head and caudal fin, and a dorsal and anal fin that are pitch black. When not displaying, they tend to be more of a silver color like the females.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyprichromis leptosoma\u003c\/em\u003e are a mild-mannered cichlid from Lake Tanganyika that exhibit shoaling behaviors higher in the water column. This makes them excellent tankmates for shell- or cave-dwelling cichlids, which rarely venture higher into open water. They act as a relaxing agent for other species as well, much like tetras do with dwarf cichlids - if the \u003cem\u003eCyprichromis \u003c\/em\u003eare swimming in the open, it must be \"safe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyprichromis \u003c\/em\u003eare long and slender and may be considered the \"sardines of Lake Tanganyika.\" They occur all over the lake and have a wide variety of color patterns. They are maternal mouthbrooders and in the wild, females will spawn all at once with the dominant males in the area. Spawns are typically 5-20 fry as their mouths are small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  As these are social fish, we recommend keeping these fish in groups of 6 or more, 10 or more being better. Their high activity also makes us recommend not keeping them in tanks that are not at least 4ft long.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDue 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"4-5\" Male","offer_id":53501706764595,"sku":"F-07","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6524\/2419\/files\/Cyprichromisleptosoma_YellowHead_Website.jpg?v=1781806403","url":"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/products\/cyprichromis-leptosoma-yellow-head","provider":"Imperial Tropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
