Rubricatochromis Guttatus  - These fish have a blue or red body with bright blue green spots. Females will become more brightly coloured when spawning.

Found originally in West Africa, these cichlids prefer to live in  a large tank to allow them space to avoid each other at spawning time. They are monogamous and pair up for life so each pair in the tank will require their own 'den' to prevent too much aggression.
