About Cyprichromis Leptosoma 'zonatus'

This is the zonatus collection-point form of Cyprichromis leptosoma, sharing the same peaceful, open-water shoaling behaviour as our 'Utinta' line but with its own distinct colouration under aquarium lighting. Best kept in a group of six or more with plenty of horizontal swimming room.
