Altolamprologus calvus (Black) - regular: 1.5 -2.25 inches

Scientific Name: Altolamprologus calvus (Black) The common black calvus is a mildly aggressive substrate spawner that is a small fry predator. The calvus also feeds on insect larvae and small crustaceans. Their specialized laterally compressed mouth allows them access to small narrow crevices in the rocks. There are many varieties of black calvus the one pictured here is a wild caught ink fin. They thrive on mysis shrimp, krill, and Our custom fish food formula in the aquarium. They appreciate the addition of a quality aquarium or Cichlid Salt at the rate of 1 teaspoon per gallon of water.   We have fed our calvus the current All Purpose Fish Food Formula in our Florida Facility for over a year. Our cichlids are noticeably more active, grow quicker, have improved color, and we have all but eliminated bloat in even the most sensitive species, including tropheus. We have fed it to new world and African cichlids, assorted livebearers, Discus, loaches, catfish, Danios, Tetras, Australian Rainbows, and virtually any fish that will eat a prepared food. Try some today and see for yourself !

African cichlids are a beautiful and interesting alternative to saltwater reef tanks. They are native in the three rift Great Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika , Victoria and the rivers of the Congo . African cichlids are secondary freshwater fish, which means their ancestors were saltwater fish that moved inland via the Congo, Limpopo, Zambezi, Malaragasi and other rivers. As the river waters became trapped in the Rift Valley, the saltwater river fish became freshwater lake fish. The cichlids evolved to live in every environment of the Great Lakes, including along rocky beaches, in deep sea beds and in warmer, shallow waters. The evolution necessities created thousands of variants that are still being discovered today. The hobbyist will never run out of new species to try in the aquarium with African cichlids . This reason alone is the cause of there continuing popularity
