kenyi cichlid "metriaclima lombardoi"

Kenyi Cichlid


Maylandia lombardoi
, is a 13 cm (5 in) freshwater fish from the family Cichlidae.  It is often referred to by common names including: lombardoi, kenyi or kennyi.   It is endemic to the rocky shores of Mbenji Island, Lake Malawi in east Africa. The species is highly sexually dimorphic, females and juvenile males are pale white-blue with several blue-black vertical bands extending into the dorsal fin. Adult males turn bright yellow with faint brown bars crossing the body; fins are plain yellow with egg spots on the anal fin. Like most mbuna cichlids, this species is a maternal mouthbrooder. When mouthbrooding, females may defend a small territory and assume the colouration of males.  Like other mbuna, these fishes can be very aggressive and males may end up killing other tankmates. To prevent casualties, the aquarium should be spacious and rocky with several hiding places. It can be kept with other cichlids of Lake Malawi, preferably other mbuna with the similar level of aggressiveness. A single male should be kept with several females.
