Chameleon cichlid

The Chameleon cichlid lives in the benthopelagic, freshwater, pH range: 6.5 - 7.0, dH range: 5 - 12 environment.

The chameleon cichlid is the best cichlid you can have. I have two of them and they are brilliant. When ever I tap on the glass they know I'm getting ready to feed them and swim straight to the top of the tank. More

sometimes known as the Chameleon Cichlid because of the rather sudden change from juvenile to adult coloration. Juveniles and females will show a yellow body with several black stripes, like the bumble bee it is named after. More
