Comments:
Haplochromis sp. "all red Kyoga" is also known as Haplochromis "Xystichromis" sp. "Kyoga flameback". It consumes plants in the wild. Since it is a fiarly peaceful Victorian it should not be kept with other tank mates that are aggressive or boisterous. As far as Victorians go, this is one of the larger "Haps", reaching lengths of 6".
All of the genus proposed by Humphrey Greenwood are being re-evaluated. When this occurs, the zoological classification rules require that the fish revert back to a the generic genus until a determination is made. It is for this reason that we have listed the former genus designated by Greenwood in quotation marks as a subgenus after the generic genus Haplochromis.

Habitat: This is the primary location where the cichlid is found and is a generalization. This does not mean a fish cannot be found in other habitats.
Diet: Many cichlids specialize in eating one type of food; notwithstanding, some of these specialized feeders are flexible and can be opportunistic feeders.
Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tankmates that are of a different species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to various factors, including aquarium size, tankmates of similar appearance, stocking levels, and order of introduction. There may even be some variability among individual specimens.
Conspecific Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tank- mates of the same species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to such factors as aquarium size, stocking levels and order of introduction. There may even be some variability among individual specimens.
Maximum Size: This is in regards to total length (including the tail) of typical aquarium specimens. Wild specimens may not attain this size, or may in fact grow larger than aquarium raised individuals due to various factors. Also consider that this is the typical maximum size and there are exceptional individuals that will exceed it.
Difficulty:
This measure is a relative value, comparing a single species against all
other cichlids.
This only accounts for maintanence in the aquarium and not breeding
considerations.
1 = easy and forgiving, 5 = extremely challenging.
