Red Fin Kadango East African Cichlid
Haplochromis Borleyi “Redfin”
Copadichromis borleyi
The Red Fin Kadango or Haplochromis Borleyi Redfin, is a mellow cichlid and easy to breed! These fish have many desirable traits as an aquarium pet, especially for the aquarist wanting to house different Lake Malawi cichlids in the same tank. The Haplochromis Borleyi Redfin are peaceful cichlids that only become territorial during spawning time. They will school with larger numbers. Females have orange on most of their fins making them less drab than other Lake Malawi females, and the males are not as hard on the females. They are actually very gentle if there are at least 3 or more females.
They are found in Lake Malawi, Africa where they swim near rocky areas, over large boulders, or in open waters. They will school in shallow waters at rocky islands over a sandy substrate to feed on zooplankton.
