Giraffe Cichlid x Livingstoni Hybrid
Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Giraffe Cichlid x Livingstoni Hybrid

This hybrid combines traits from the Giraffe Cichlid (Nimbochromis venustus) and Livingston’s Cichlid (Nimbochromis livingstonii). The result is a robust, predatory African cichlid with a unique mix of body patterns and colors, often displaying mottled camouflage and variable spotting. Like both parents, it’s an ambush predator and requires a large, well-structured aquarium.
