ALBINO DOLPHIN CICHLID FISH

The Albino Blue Dolphin Cichlid is an albino form of the popular Blue Dolphin Cichlid that comes from the Lake Malawi rift lake and near by waterways of eastern Africa. They received their common name due to the nuchal hump on their forehead and the bill-like shape of their mouth, that combined give them a look resembling that of a dolphin. Blue Dolphins are widely distributed throughout Lake Malawi and nearby streams and water ways. Albino Blue Dolphins grow fairly large and thus requires a good sized aquarium of at least 400 liters or more to properly house adult specimens. In the wild they are found living near muddy and sandy coastal areas, their aquarium environment should closely resemble their natural habitat. Provide them a sandy substrate with plenty of open swimming area and plenty of rocky caves and rock piles.
