Albino Moorii Dolphin Cichlid – Rare Beauty with Graceful Power
Introduce a stunning, otherworldly presence to your aquarium with the Albino Moorii Dolphin Cichlid (Cyrtocara moorii, albino variant) — a rare and elegant African cichlid admired for its soft, creamy-white body, pinkish eyes, and signature nuchal hump. Bred selectively from the classic Blue Dolphin Cichlid, this albino variety retains the same gentle temperament and regal swimming style, with a uniquely luminous appearance.
Native to the sandy shores of Lake Malawi, Albino Moorii are peaceful for cichlids, making them excellent tank mates in larger, semi-aggressive African cichlid setups. Their slow, gliding movements and curious personality make them a favorite for hobbyists looking for a striking yet serene centerpiece fish.

-
Elegant Albino Coloration: Pale white body with soft yellow and pink tones
-
Iconic Head Shape: Prominent forehead hump develops with age and maturity
-
Peaceful Demeanor: More docile than many other African cichlids
-
Tank-Bred & Hardy: Adaptable and well-suited to aquarium conditions

-

-

Tip: Best kept in small groups with other peaceful Malawi cichlids or similar-sized species. Provide open swimming space, sandy substrate, and rocky hiding spots for comfort and confidence.
Bring an air of rarity and refinement to your tank with the Albino Moorii Dolphin Cichlid — a gentle giant that’s as graceful as it is unique.
