Black Calvus Cichlid – Rick

Looking for a beautiful centerpiece for your Tanganyikan tank? This Calvus Cichlid would be perfect for you! Males usually grow to 6 inches while females grow to about 4.7 inches so a tank size of 50-55 gallons is required. They are a carnivorous fish so a diet consisting of frozen blood worms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, high quality pellets, or live black worms will work great but be weary keeping it with smaller fish, anything they can fit in their mouth they will eat!  All pictures shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual products may vary due to natural variation with livestock.
