Tropheus moorii "Bemba" A dazzling display of contrast and character from Lake Tanganyika—bold orange bands and big personality in every fish
Tropheus moorii "Bemba" is a highly sought-after variant of the Tropheus family, known for its deep black body and vibrant orange-yellow band stretching across its midsection. This striking coloration, paired with their active and social nature, makes them a centerpiece fish in any African cichlid tank. As with all Tropheus, they do best in large, rocky aquascapes with stable water parameters and a herbivorous diet.
