Product Description

Protomelas taeniolatus “Red Empress” is one of the most admired and colorful cichlids from Lake Malawi. Famous for its brilliant metallic blue head and fiery red-to-orange body, this species embodies elegance and intensity, making it a must-have centerpiece for any African cichlid aquarium.

Relatively peaceful compared to other Malawi cichlids, the Red Empress thrives in spacious aquariums with sandy substrates and open swimming areas. Males develop dazzling coloration as they mature, while females remain silver-gray with subtle markings — creating a natural visual balance.
