Altolamprologus Calvus – Size:10-11cm

Description The Altolamprologus calvus is a distinctive African Cichlid native to the rocky shorelines of Lake Tanganyika. Known for its laterally compressed body and slow, deliberate movements, this species is part of the Altolamprologus genus, which includes predatory cichlids that specialise in ambushing prey. Unlike many of its more aggressive relatives, A. calvus is comparatively peaceful, making it a suitable candidate for well-structured Tanganyikan community aquariums. Its unique body shape allows it to navigate tight rock crevices in search of food, and its calm temperament makes it ideal for patient aquarists who appreciate subtle, calculated behaviour.Shop live aquarium fish online with confidence, with our
