Multicolor Victoriae

The Multicolor Victoriae is a beautiful dwarf cichlid containing multiple colors as their name implies.  One prominent feature of this fish are its blue lips and many customers have taken to calling them the blue lips.   Like most Victorian species, females tend to be more bland and the male gets the beautiful colors.  This is a smaller cichlid with males maxing out at 3, maybe 3.5″ and females being much smaller.  They can be comfortably housed in an aquarium as small as a 20 long.
