Collection: African cichlids - Haps

They are known for having elongated bodies, pointed snouts, and being active, open-water swimmers. Males exhibit brilliant colors (blues, greens, yellows), while females are generally more subdued. 

Generally more active and less aggressive than Mbuna, but still territorial, especially during breeding.

Primarily piscivores (fish-eaters) or carnivores in the wild, requiring high-protein foods like pellets, flakes, and frozen foods.

Need large aquariums (typically 75+ gallons) to accommodate their size and active swimming habits.
