Default Greenwoodochromis bellcrossi

Finally gotten hold of this species. Picked up a single specimen today. Hope to pick up more of these in future.

Greenwoodochromis bellcrossi originates from the deep waters of Lake Tanganyika.

Fish seems to have settled pretty well.

I like the odd-looking appearance.

Thanks Ben, I had to be extra careful with the acclimatisation process lol. It took quite sometime to settle down.

I guess you probably saw a featherfin species. They look kinda similar in appearance.
