Profile: Julidochromis Gombi

Probably my most underrated fish. Beautiful looking , lots of charisma and very easy to care for.

name: Gombi Cichlids

scientific names: Julidochromis Transcriptus

origin: Lake Tanganyika

max size: 3" sexing: ? dont know.

difficulty: easy. Though they are territorial with their own kind. Mine killed his "buddy". Still a little mad about it.

temp: 75F-80F. Like most Africans.

habitat: rocks.

plant friendly: apparently. I dont keep them with plants but word on the street is they are plant friendly.

comments: probably my most underrated fish , him and my buffalohead. Beautiful fish , lots of charisma , and easy to care for. Very affordable too (10-20bucks) dependant on stock and your location. I highly recommend these guys for anybody with a smaller (20G) set up and wanting something a little more sophisticated and natural like a african set up. Just need rocks and sand for decor , looks very sharp and clean.
