Description
Julidochromis ornatus "Uvira" - 1-2" Unsexed F1. Remarks: Julidochromis ornatus is a Tanganyikan cichlid that reaches 3" in length, making it one of the smaller "Julies." They sport a torpedo-shaped body with three horizontal black lines running from their face to their tail. They can be distinguished from other Julies by a large black spot on the caudal fin. Their body color is ivory though some populations have a golden hue to them. They inhabit rocky areas of the lake and can often be seen hovering upside-down below a rocky outcropping. Julies make for an excellent candidate for a breeder looking to try Tanganyikan cichlids, as they are cave spawners and tend to produce quite a few fry, which they raise for several weeks. Sexing is nearly impossible, so young groups should be kept together until they pair off. Scientific Name : Julido. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
