Fire Uganda

The Fire Uganda is a beautiful cichlid with a fire color pattern starting yellow around the belly and graduating to a deep red towards the back.  Like most Victorian species, females tend to be quite bland and the male gets all the beautiful colors.  In my experience this fish is very prolific and breeds younger and smaller than your typical Malawi fish.
