Tropheus duboisi (white spotted cichlid) is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika preferring areas with rocky substrates in the northern portion of the lake. This species can reach a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2]
Aquarium Care
These cichlids are popular amongst aquarium hobbyists. Due to their aggressive nature and vegetarian dietary restrictions, these cichlids are often kept in groups of more than 10 in a single species tank.
