Lombardoi 5cm

The Kenyi Cichlid, Metriaclima lombardoi, is a medium-sized cichlid that originates from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa.

These can grow to 11-14cm as full adults.

The female is blue with black bars and the male turns to a yellow color as it matures.
The Lombardoi is unique among its kind because of its colors. The male and female look like two different species with the male having a bright orange/yellow base with faded dark bars and the female having a rich sky blue base with faded dark barring, which is the opposite to the usual colorings for the Mbuna species.
