Powder Blue Cichlid
Chindongo socolofi
The Powder Blue Cichlid inhabits rocky shorelines and reefs in Lake Malawi, where it patrols gaps between boulders. It scrapes algae and attached organisms from rocks, supplementing this diet with small invertebrates. Males defend small breeding territories and use conspicuous fin displays to warn rivals away.
