The Protomelas Spilonotus “Tanzania” is a stunning haplochromine cichlid from Lake Malawi, highly sought after for its brilliant blue sheen, elegant body shape, and calm demeanor. Mature males display a vibrant metallic blue face with a golden-yellow body and red dorsal accents, creating a breathtaking display of color and contrast.

Peaceful and majestic, the Tanzania Spilonotus is ideal as a centerpiece fish in community aquariums with other mild to moderately aggressive Malawi species. It thrives in spacious tanks with sandy substrates and open swimming areas, allowing its natural beauty and graceful movement to shine.
