Malawi Blue Cichlid

Malawi Blue Cichlid
The Malawi blue cichlid is found in Lake Malawi (also called Lake Nyasa) in eastern Africa. It engages in an elaborate courtship and afterwards provides extensive care for the developing eggs and newly hatched fry. The Malawi blue cichlid, along with dozens of other species of brilliantly colored cichlids from the great lakes of eastern Africa, is prized as an aquarium fish.
