About the Albino Compressiceps

Name: Albino Malawi Eyebiter

Max Size: Albino Malawi Eyebiter, scientifically known as Dimidiochromis compressiceps, can reach a maximum size of around 8-10 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Albino Malawi Eyebiters thrive in water conditions typical of Lake Malawi, which includes a temperature range of 75-82Β°F and a pH range of 7.8-8.6. They prefer hard, alkaline water with good filtration and regular water changes to maintain optimal health.

Diet: Albino Malawi Eyebiters are piscivorous predators, meaning they primarily feed on other fish. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small fish. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure their nutritional needs are met.

Temperament: Albino Malawi Eyebiters are known for their aggressive and territorial nature. They should be kept in a species-specific or large, well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and territories. Avoid keeping them with smaller or peaceful fish that may become targets of aggression.

Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of rocks, caves, and driftwood to create hiding spots and territories for the Albino Malawi Eyebiters. They prefer a sandy substrate that mimics their natural environment. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential to maintain water quality.

Compatibility: Albino Malawi Eyebiters are best kept in a species-specific setup or with other large and aggressive cichlid species from Lake Malawi. Avoid keeping them with smaller or peaceful fish that may be intimidated or harassed by their aggressive behavior.

Behavior: Albino Malawi Eyebiters are ambush predators that lie in wait for their prey. They are highly territorial and will defend their chosen area aggressively. Males develop a prominent hump on their forehead as they mature. During breeding, they may display vibrant colors and engage in courtship behaviors.

Fun Fact: Albino Malawi Eyebiters are a rare color variation of the Dimidiochromis compressiceps species. Their striking albino coloration, with white or pale body and red eyes, adds a unique and eye-catching element to an aquarium. However, due to their aggressive nature and specific care requirements, they are best suited for experienced cichlid keepers.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
