The Haplochromis Moorii, also known as the Blue Dolphin Cichlid, is a stunning African cichlid with a graceful, dolphin-like appearance. These young specimens, measuring 2 to 2.5 inches, already exhibit their unique features, such as the elongated body and signature blue coloration. As they mature, their vibrant blue hue and distinctive "hump" on the head make them a true showpiece in any aquarium. 💎
