The Protomelas Steveni “Taiwan Reef” is one of the most breathtaking cichlids from Lake Malawi, admired for its brilliant metallic blue face, bright red dorsal fin, and vibrant yellow chest. This species combines elegance and intensity, making it a true showpiece for any African cichlid aquarium.

Males develop striking coloration as they mature, while females remain silver with subtle highlights, providing a beautiful natural contrast. The Taiwan Reef Cichlid is generally peaceful compared to other Malawi species and thrives in aquariums with open swimming areas and gentle water flow.
