Pelvicachromis silviae

28. January 2014

Finally we were able once more to import this pretty dwarf cichlid (males become 7-8 cm long, females stay 15-25% smaller) from Nigeria. Before its official description under the name of P. silviae the species has been known by hobbyists for about 40 years as Pelvicachromis sp. aff. subocellatus.

For our customers: the fish have code 560513 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
