Python Island Hap (Pundamilia macrocephala)

Remarks: Pundamilia macrocephala are found near Mwanza in the southern park of Lake Victoria, and our stock comes from Python Island. They are typically found living deeper than Pundamilia pundamilia. They can be rather aggressive and breeding groups should be kept in species-only tanks. Breeding them will be very rewarding for both you and the fish, as they are on the CARES List due to their "Vulnerale" classification by the IUCN. Males are dark-blue/black with red fins during breeding dress. Females remain gray with some slight coloration near the ventral fins.  Scientific Name: Pundamilia macrocephala Common Name: Python Island Hap Max Size: 4" pH: 7.5-8.5 Hardness: Hard Temperature: 72-78° Aggressiveness: Aggressive Region of Origin: Lake Victoria, Africa Captive Bred or Wild: Captive Bred Diet: Flake or pellet, frozen and live food Compatibility: Victorian Haps, Malawi Haps, Malawi Peacocks, Synodontis Tank Mate Options: Fire Uganda Yellow Rock Kribensis Zebra Obliquidens *****P
