Origin: Lake Tanganyika Habitat: Sediment-Rich Rocky Habitat Diet: Omnivore Gender Differences: Monomorphic Breeding: Substrate Spawner Temperament: Aggressive Conspecific Temperament: Aggressive Maximum Size: 3" Temperature: 77 - 79°F pH: 8.6 Water Hardness: Very Hard Difficulty: 2

Comments:

Julidochromis are omnivores, primarily feeding on crustaceans, insect larvae and molluscs found in the aufwuchs. They also ingest sand particles as well as filementous and diatomaceous algae. A diet in the aquarium could include mysis shrimp, mosquito larvae, daphnia, plankton as well as high quality flakes and pellets.

Pronunciation: Refer to our Pronunciation Key for an explanation of the phonetic symbols.

Habitat: This is the primary location where the cichlid is found and is a generalization. This does not    mean a fish cannot be found in other habitats.

Diet: Many cichlids specialize in eating one type of food; notwithstanding, some of these specialized   feeders are flexible and can be opportunistic feeders.

Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tankmates that    are of a different species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to various factors,   including aquarium size, tankmates of similar appearance, stocking levels, and order of introduction.   There may even be some variability among individual specimens.

Conspecific Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tank-   mates of the same species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to such factors as    aquarium size, stocking levels and order of introduction. There may even be some variability among    individual specimens.

Maximum Size: This is in regards to total length (including the tail) of typical aquarium specimens.    Wild specimens may not attain this size, or may in fact grow larger than aquarium raised individuals    due to various factors. Also consider that this is the typical maximum size and there are exceptional    individuals that will exceed it.

Difficulty: This measure is a relative value, comparing a single species against all other cichlids.    This only accounts for maintanence in the aquarium and not breeding considerations.   1 = easy and forgiving, 5 = extremely challenging.
