Cichlidae species Cyprichromis leptosoma comes from Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Territory is its whole worldview; rocks arranged as walls calm what open water cannot. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 8.2–12.1 cm. Singly, in pairs, or as a harem — never crowded. Strong filtration, hardscape boundaries and a steady routine turn a brawler into a showpiece. Maintain 23–25 °C at pH 8–9. Undemanding once its core needs are met.
