Description
Nimbochromis Venustus is also known as a “Giraffe Hap” or “Giraffe Cichlid. Males tend to grow larger and exhibit gaudier colouration than females, showing beautiful blue and yellow pigmentation on the body. These colours intensify greatly when the male is in breeding conditions.
It is a loner in nature and males can be quite aggressive towards one another. It is known to be predatory but generally peaceful with species too big to be considered food.
Nimbochromis Venustus prefer to be fed a meaty diet of prawns, lancefish, whitebait etc.
The aquarium should be prepared with piles of rocks arranged to form caves, large areas of open water for swimming and preferably a sandy substrate.
