Star Sapphire (Placidochromis sp. Phenochilus Tanzania)

Remarks: Star Sapphires (Placidochromis sp. Phenochilus Tanzania) are a close relative of the Mdoka White Lip, though these fish do not grow the signature white lips. Instead, males will be covered in light blue sparkles, reminding us of an elegant constellation embedded in a sapphire gemstone.
