🌑 Black Pearly Lamprologus – A Rare and Stunning African Cichlid!

The Black Pearly Lamprologus, also known as Lamprologus meleagris, is a beautiful and unique species of African cichlid. Known for its dark, pearlescent coloration and striking patterns, this small but hardy fish is native to Lake Tanganyika. At 1.5 inches, these juveniles are already displaying their signature colors and bold personalities, making them a great addition to species-specific or Tanganyikan setups. 🌑

Current Size: 1.5 inches

Key Features:

• Scientific Name: Lamprologus meleagris
• Size at Maturity: Up to 3 inches
• Tank Size: Minimum of 20 gallons
• Temperament: Peaceful to semi-aggressive; best kept with other Tanganyikan cichlids or in species-specific tanks

• Water Parameters: pH 7.8-9.0, temperature 75-80°F

The Black Pearly Lamprologus thrives in aquariums with plenty of rock formations and crevices for shelter and breeding.
