Turkana Jewel Cichlid, previously known as Hemichromis exsul, has been reclassified and its new scientific name is Rubricatochromis exsul. They are found in west Africa in a variety of environments and are fairy un-demanding with water requirements though they can be sensitive to high pH. The coloration of both the female and especially the male intensified during the breeding season. Spawning occurs after an environmental trigger, namely a temperature change that replicates the rainy season in their natural environment. Eggs will be laid on a flat surface and defended by both parents. They are known fin-nippers and may prey on small fish. A group of juveniles can be kept in a large aquarium but a male/female pair is best kept in a species-only aquarium or with other large fish of a simlar temperament as they will aggressively guard their territory. These juveniles are 1-1 1/2 inches.
