The Blue Dolphin Cichlid (Cyrtocara moorii, formerly classified under Haplochromis moorii) is an iconic, large-growing African cichlid celebrated for its striking metallic blue coloration and the prominent hump on its forehead that develops with age, resembling a dolphin’s head.
Short Description & Highlights
The Blue Dolphin Cichlid (approx. 2.5–3.5 inches / 6–9 cm juvenile size) is a remarkably charismatic, deep-bodied freshwater fish native to Lake Malawi. While most large African cichlids are aggressively territorial, Cyrtocara moorii is known as a "gentle giant", making it a fascinating centerpiece species for large community aquariums.
