BOGO Julidochromis transcriptus "Bemba"

This is a BOGO listing! If you buy 1 fish, you will receive 2 fish! Remarks: Julidochromis transcriptus is a Tanganyikan cichlid that reaches 3" in length, making it one of the smaller "Julies." There is some debate over the true identity of this species, as it has been considered a variant of Julidochromis marlieri as well as simply Julidochromis sp. "Gombe." Further analysis may reveal how it fits into the genus. They sport a torpedo-shaped body covered in a black vertical stripe pattern, with a nice mask over their eyes. 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: Julidochromis transcriptus "Bemba" Common Name: Max Size: 3" pH: 7.
