General information - The Five bar cichlid or by its common name

Lamprologus tretocephalus is an aggressive cichlid from Lake

Tanganika. It has an elongated body with five bars. These bars are

black in color while the entire body is blue. Due to its appearance it is

occasionally confused with his close relatives, the Neolamprologus

sexfasciatus (Six-bar Lamprologus). Some people even confuse the

five bar cichlid with the well known Cyphotilapia frontosa. To be

accurate its often called frontosa for the poor. In their natural habitat

they are found along rocky shore areas where they feed mainly on

snails and on fish

 Common Name - Five bar cichlid, Five Barred Lamprologus

Scientific Name - Lamprologus tretocephalus
