Información del producto

🐟 Polleni Cichlid / Starry Night Cichlid – (Paratilapia polleni) – Stunning Madagascar Cichlid for Sale

The Polleni Cichlid, also known as the Starry Night Cichlid, is a striking freshwater species native to Madagascar. Its dark, almost black body is covered in shimmering white-to-blue spots, resembling a star-filled night sky—hence its common name. This beautiful but robust cichlid is a favorite among hobbyists for its unique coloration and engaging personality.

While visually stunning, the Polleni Cichlid is also territorial and semi-aggressive, particularly during breeding. It thrives in spacious aquariums with plenty of rock structures, caves, and open swimming areas.
