Información del producto

🐟 Werner's Ground Cichlid – (Lamprologus werneri) – Rare Lake Tanganyika Shell Dwelling Cichlid

The Werner's Ground Cichlid (Lamprologus werneri) is a rare and fascinating cichlid species native to the rocky and sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. Known for its striking elongated body, bold vertical barring, and unique substrate-oriented lifestyle, this species often inhabits sandy bottoms with scattered shells and small rock crevices.

Like many Tanganyikan cichlids, L. werneri is intelligent and territorial, particularly during breeding. It thrives in aquariums that replicate its natural environment, with fine sand, shells for shelter, and stable, alkaline water conditions. Due to its rarity in the aquarium trade, it is highly sought after by advanced African cichlid enthusiasts.
