Immerse yourself in the allure of these mesmerizing creatures as they add a touch of wonder and fascination to your aquatic sanctuary.

Scientific Name: Buccochromis Rhoadessi is a species within the Cichlidae family.

Water Quality:

  • Temperature: Maintain a warm and stable environment with temperatures ranging from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C).
  • pH Level: Keep the water slightly basic to neutral, with a pH range of 7.6 to 8.6, to support their well-being.
  • GH Level: Aim for a General Hardness (GH) of 8 to 12 dGH for their optimal health.
  • KH Level: Ensure a Carbonate Hardness (KH) level of 10 to 15 dKH to maintain water stability.

Feeding: Buccochromis Rhoadessi are primarily carnivorous and have a hearty appetite. Offer them a diet of high-quality pellets or frozen foods, supplemented with occasional live prey to mimic their natural feeding habits.

Tank Mates:

  • Large, Peaceful Cichlids: Buccochromis Rhoadessi can coexist with other large, peaceful cichlid species in a spacious aquarium.
  • Avoid Aggressive Fish: Refrain from housing them with aggressive or territorial fish to maintain a harmonious environment.

Substrates and Tank Decorations: Provide a sandy substrate to simulate their natural habitat and encourage their digging behavior. Decorate the tank with rocks, caves, and driftwood to create hiding spots and territories.

Suitable Plants: As Buccochromis Rhoadessi prefer a rocky habitat, it is best to choose hardy and non-eating plants like Java Ferns and Anubias to enhance the visual appeal without disturbing their natural behavior.

Sexing: Sexing adult Buccochromis Rhoadessi can be challenging and may require observation of their behavior and subtle physical differences.

Breeding: Breeding Buccochromis Rhoadessi in a home aquarium can be attempted, but it requires specific conditions and may be challenging.

Maximum Size and Longevity: Buccochromis Rhoadessi can grow up to a size of about 12 to 14 inches (30 to 35 cm). With proper care, they can live up to 8 to 10 years, providing you with years of fascination.

General Information: Buccochromis Rhoadessi originates from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa, where their striking coloration and impressive size make them stand out among cichlid enthusiasts.

A Fun Fact: Did you know that Buccochromis Rhoadessi are known for their unique hunting strategy? They are ambush predators, and their specialized jaw structure allows them to catch and consume prey almost as large as themselves, making them a formidable predator in the aquatic world!
