Tropheus moorii "Mpulungu" (Sun Spot Tropheus)

The Tropheus moorii "Mpulungu" (or Sun Spot Tropheus) is a vibrant, herbivorous Lake Tanganyika cichlid known for its striking orange/yellow body with dark barring, living in shallow, rocky habitats, needing hard, alkaline water (pH 7.8-9.0), and thriving in large, species-only tanks due to its territorial nature, requiring high-fiber, spirulina-rich diets to prevent bloat.
