Buccochromis Rhoadesii - Yellow Lepturus

A true showpiece for the serious Malawi enthusiast.

The Buccochromis Rhoadesii, commonly known as the Yellow Lepturus, is one of the most impressive predatory haps in the hobby. At 7" this fully mature male is displaying his complete adult colouration — rich golden yellow body with striking blue iridescence and bold finnage that commands attention in any large cichlid display.

Sourced directly from our premium Thailand supplier, this is not the washed out, undersized Rhoadesii you'll find at a typical fish store. Every fish we carry is hand selected for colour, health, and grade before making the journey to our facility in Smiths Falls, Ontario.

What makes ours different:

• 7" fully mature male — ready to be the centrepiece of your tank
• Super high grade Thailand import — exceptional colour and conformation
• Active, healthy, and eating well

Care notes: Best kept in a large tank (150+ gallons) with similarly sized Malawi haps and peacocks. A predatory species — do not house with small fish. Thrives at pH 7.8–8.5.
