Remarks: Julidochromis dickfeldi is a yellow-tan torpedo-shaped cichlid from Lake Tanganyika with several horizontal black bars and blue fins. They inhabit rocky areas of the lake and can often be seen hovering upside-down below a rocky outcropping. Julies make for an excellent candidate for a breeder looking to try Tanganyikan cichlids, as they are cave spawners and tend to produce quite a few fry, which they raise for several weeks. Sexing is nearly impossible, so young groups should be kept together until they pair off.
