Livingstones African Cichlid – Care Guide
The Livingstones cichlid (Nimbochromis livingstonii) from Lake Malawi is a fascinating ambush predator that “plays dead” — lying motionless on the substrate to lure smaller fish within striking range. Males display a beautiful blue-green metallic sheen with blotch camouflage patterning. A rewarding species for keepers who appreciate intelligent, behavioural fish.
