The Majestic Hunter: Nimbochromis venustus (Giraffe Cichlid)

Introduce a commanding presence to your aquarium with the magnificent Nimbochromis venustus, affectionately known as the Giraffe Cichlid. 

Named for the distinctive, irregular dark blotches across its yellowish-green body, this large and powerful Haplochromine becomes a stunning showpiece as it matures.

As males develop, they reveal an intense, shimmering metallic blue colouration over the head and body, creating a striking contrast against the signature giraffe-like spotting. 

The Giraffe Cichlid is a top-tier fish for the serious large cichlid enthusiast.

Features the unique large, irregular dark blotches over a lighter body, making it instantly recognisable.

Mature males develop brilliant blue colouration across the head, a highly desired trait.

As a Nimbochromis, it is a predatory species. It is best suited for tanks containing other large, similarly assertive Malawi Haps or robust Peacocks.
