They have red and grey-blue on the dorsal fin with a white upper edge. Their tail is blue with red mixed through it. This is a rare type of Lethrinops in the hobby. 

The base price is a 2.5" Male. 

Have you tried Smart Start Complete yet? It helps to keep your aquarium water cycle system working and keep fish healthy. CAS uses it in our tanks. Our 12 oz. bottles take up the same space as one 3.5" or smaller fish in our 12 x 12 x 10 and larger boxes. This means you can ship a bottle with your fish order with no extra shipping charge in most cases. see https://www.cichlidsarespecial.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=343 for more information. 

These fish are being discontinued from my grow-out stock. They are hard to get to show color unless they are kept in groups with females. Best kept in a breeder group of one male with five females.  However, once a 4" male colors, they generally will retain color in a mixed male tank. 

2" and smaller sizes of this fish should be kept with one teaspoon per gallon of plain table salt in their water. 

75 gallon or larger tank recommended for single male mixed tanks. These fish mix best with Peacocks and Milder haplochromines. They do not work well with larger more aggressive predator haplochromines.  It is hard to beat the color of an all-male African Cichlid Tank.

20 gallon or larger tank recommended for breeder groups. 

The best mix for breeding is one male with five to six females.
