Description
Green Spot Bleekeri (Paratilapia polleni "Bleekeri") - 4-5" Unsexed. Remarks : The starry night cichlid ( Paratilapia polleni ) is possibly the most popular of the cichlids native to Madagascar within the hobby. They are known for their rich, black coloration and bright white speckles that looks like the night sky which explains where their common name originates from. This striking coloration is best brought out when this species is kept on a dark substrate under dim lighting. While these fish can be rather shy for a larger cichlid, they still can hold their against most other cichlids. They usually are very peaceful except when spawning during which the pair will claim a rather large territory space. Being piscivorous, despite their typically docile temperament, eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths. Starry night cichlids are extremely adaptabl.
