Cyprichromis leptosoma “Utinta” is a stunning open-water cichlid from Lake Tanganyika, prized for its slender body, peaceful temperament, and vibrant coloration. Males showcase a brilliant sky-blue body with a subtle yellow tinge near the fins, while females are slightly paler with silver hues. Their streamlined shape and graceful swimming make them a captivating addition to community tanks, especially in mid to upper water columns.

Leptosoma “Utinta” is a peaceful schooling species that thrives in groups of 6 or more. They are ideal for community aquariums with other non-aggressive Tanganyika cichlids and exhibit active, lively behavior as they glide through open water.
