About the Kenyi Cichlid

Name: Kenyi Cichlid

Max Size: Kenyi Cichlid (Metriaclima lombardoi) can grow up to 4-5 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Kenyi Cichlid prefers alkaline water conditions with a pH range of 7.5-8.5. The temperature should be maintained between 76-82Β°F. They are generally hardy and adaptable to different water conditions, but stable water parameters are important for their overall health and well-being.

Diet: Kenyi Cichlid is an omnivorous species that will accept a wide range of foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes as the staple. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small insects. Including some vegetable matter in their diet is also beneficial.

Temperament: Kenyi Cichlid is a moderately aggressive species, especially during breeding and territorial disputes. They are best kept in large tanks with ample space and hiding spots to minimize aggression. Avoid keeping them with timid or peaceful fish that may become targets of aggression.

Tank Setup: Kenyi Cichlid prefers a well-decorated aquarium with rocks, caves, and driftwood to mimic their natural rocky habitat. Provide ample hiding spots and territories for each fish to establish their own space. They appreciate a sandy substrate with areas of open swimming space.

Compatibility: Kenyi Cichlid is best kept in a species-specific or mixed African cichlid tank. Care should be taken when selecting tank mates, as they can be aggressive towards smaller or more peaceful fish. Avoid mixing them with other aggressive cichlid species to minimize territorial conflicts.

Behavior: Kenyi Cichlid is an active and territorial fish. Males are particularly aggressive, especially when breeding. They will display vibrant colors and engage in courtship behaviors to attract females. It's recommended to keep a higher female-to-male ratio to distribute aggression and prevent excessive stress on females.

Fun Fact: Kenyi Cichlid is also known as the Lombardoi Cichlid or the Zebra Cichlid. They are named after their striking coloration, featuring bold black and blue stripes on a yellow or orange background. They are popular among cichlid enthusiasts due to their beautiful appearance and engaging behaviors.

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.
