Description: Altolamprologus compressiceps "Orange" are known for their bright orange color and distinctive striping that develops as they grow. They are African Cichlids that are native to Lake Tanganyika and need a pH of at least 8.2. These guys only get to about 5 inches when fully grown, but they tend to do well with larger African Cichlids (such as Mbunas and Peacocks), as well as other Tangnyikan Cichlids.
