The Ahli Cichlid (Sciaenochromis ahlii) is a stunning, brightly colored freshwater fish native to Lake Tanganyika in Africa. Known for its striking blue or cobalt body with a vibrant orange-red or yellowish hue on the fins, it typically grows to about 6-8 inches in length. Ahli Cichlids are semi-aggressive and prefer a tank with a minimum of 55 gallons, ideally with rocky decor and hiding spots. They thrive in warm, alkaline water and are omnivorous, eating a variety of pellets, live foods, and vegetables. Their beauty and active behavior make them a popular choice for experienced aquarium enthusiasts.
