Cyprichromis Leptosoma Jumbo Kerenge F1

Introduce brilliant aquatic beauty to your lake-style setup with our “Jumbo Kerenge F1” strain of Cyprichromis leptosoma. This bold and healthy selection features robust, large-sized specimens that showcase striking hues and the peaceful, schooling nature this species is known for.

Originating from the open waters of Lake Tanganyika, the Cyprichromis leptosoma Jumbo Kerenge F1 thrives in rocky, high-alkalinity environments. At California Cichlids, we carefully raise each fish in optimal conditions—crystal-clear water, consistent water chemistry, and strong genetics—to ensure you receive a fish that’s ready to thrive in your home tank.

Key Features:

• Vibrant body coloration with iridescent blue and silver tones, accented by fine striping and bright finnage

• Healthy, large “jumbo” size: these are mature or nearly mature specimens for more immediate visual impact

• Ideal for community or species-specific African lake aquariums thanks to their peaceful, schooling behaviour

• Raised, acclimated, and shipped with utmost care to guarantee arrival in excellent condition

Tank & Care Notes:
To allow your Cyprichromis leptosoma to reach its full potential, mimic their natural Lake Tanganyika habitat: use a sandy or fine-gravel substrate, plenty of open swimming space, and rock formations for shelter. Maintain high pH (around 8.0–9.0) and moderate hardness (GH > 12) with stable water parameters. Feed a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats to maximise colour and vitality.
