Información del producto

🐟 Giraffe Cichlid (Nimbochromis venustus)

The Giraffe Cichlid is a large and powerful predator from Lake Malawi, named for its distinctive giraffe-like blotched pattern. Known for its ambush hunting strategy, it will partially bury itself in the substrate and lie motionless, mimicking a dead fish to lure in unsuspecting prey. This species needs a spacious tank, robust filtration, and tankmates that can handle its size and aggression.
