Description
Tomato Hap - 2-3" Male. Remarks: The tomato hap, or Haplochromis sp. 35, originate around Kome Island in Lake Victoria. Males are yellow-green with a red forehead and shoulder that deepens as they age. They should be kept in all-male African Cichlid tanks or as a harem of 1-3 males and 5-10 females. Plenty of rockwork should be provided in the tank for subdominant males and females to avoid the aggression and courtship attempts. Spawning is relatively easy and proceeds as a typical maternal mouthbrooder. Spawns of 20-30 fry will be raised by the mother until they become free-swimming. While the female is mouthbrooding, she may become victim of aggression by other fish, so a spare tank for isolation would not be a bad idea. Scientific Name : Haplochromis sp. 35 Common Name : Tomato Hap Max Size : 5" pH : 7.5-8.5 H. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
