About
The Azureus Cichlid is a vibrant, iridescent blue cichlid known for its peaceful nature among Malawi cichlids, though males can be territorial. It's a popular choice for 'haps' and 'peacocks' cichlid tanks due to its striking color and moderate size. They are open-water dwellers in their natural habitat.
