Turkana Jewel Cichlid (locally bred)

Turkana Jewel Cichlid, Hemichromis exsul, are a comparatively smaller and less aggressive species of African cichlid. They rarely grow past 3.5 inches, which makes them a great addition to community tanks with similar fish. Some recommended tank-mates would be Congo Tetra, Synodontis catfish, Tiger Barbs and other African cichlids.

They prefer temperatures from 75–82°F (24–28°C), a slightly harder pH of 7-8.5 and a minimum tank size of 20 gallons for a breeding pair. If you plan on having it in a community then a 40+ gallon tank is recommended.
