Description
Tangerine Tiger Hap – Lake Malawi
1.5 to 2" Unsexed.
The Tangerine Tiger Hap is a striking Lake Malawi cichlid admired for its vibrant coloration and bold presence. This species displays a vivid tangerine to deep orange body accented with distinctive dark vertical barring, creating a dramatic “tiger” pattern that becomes more intense as the fish matures and establishes dominance.
Native to the rocky and open-water zones of Lake Malawi, the Tangerine Tiger Hap is an active swimmer that thrives in spacious aquariums with stable water conditions. Its confident behavior and impressive size make it an excellent centerpiece fish in well-planned Malawi community setups.
Best maintained with other similarly sized and temperament-matched Malawi cichlids, this Haplochromine benefits from a varied, high-quality diet and ample swimming room to fully develop its coloration and form.
