One of the most stunning Tropheus variants—deep dark bodies speckled with bright cherry-red spots and a whole lot of attitude
The Tropheus moorii "Bulu Point", often called the "Cherry Spot", is a unique and visually striking variant from Lake Tanganyika. It features a dark slate to black body dotted with brilliant red or orange spots, giving it the nickname. Like all Tropheus, it thrives in rocky setups with plenty of space to establish territories.
