About Lemon Cichlid
Neolamprologus leleupi, the Lemon Cichlid, is one of the most instantly recognisable Tanganyikans thanks to its saturated yellow colouration. It's a cave-dwelling, territorial species that does best with a dedicated rocky hideout of its own within a larger community tank. Our stock is captive-bred at our Sydney fish room and grown out on a varied diet to bring out strong colour early.
