Tropheus Ikola Cichlid

Tropheus “Ikola” is a stunning mbuna cichlid from Lake Tanganyika, prized for its bold coloration and energetic personality. Adult males display a striking dark body with bright orange-red accents on the dorsal fin and head, while females exhibit slightly softer hues, creating a visually appealing contrast in any aquarium.

Highly social and best kept in groups, Ikola thrives in rocky aquascapes with plenty of crevices and hiding spaces. Its active and moderately territorial behavior makes it a fascinating species for hobbyists seeking classic Tanganyika mbuna dynamics.
