The impressive Compressiceps Albino Cichlids (Dimidiochromis compressiceps) is without a doubt a stunning looking cichlid. This is another aquacultured Malawi cichlid we recently added to our livestock. We recommend it to experienced hobbyists for its aggressive temperament. Hobbyists should also have a large aquarium to house this cichlid for it can grow up to 12 inches and needs plenty of swimming room. Make sure to include a sandy substrate and plenty of decorative pieces, like plants, driftwood, or a mixture of both, that create hiding places for it to seek refuge and rest. To keep it happy and healthy, its aquarium water must be kept clean and feed it a variety of meaty frozen and dry foods.
