Sometimes referred to as the Afra Cichlid, Red Top Afra, or White Top Afra, the Dogtooth Cichlid is a small Malawi mbuna that originates from rocky areas in Lake Malawi, Africa. The Dogtooth Cichlid is a fascinating fish that comes in many variations depending on where it’s from and what moods they’re feeling. The “excited” spawner coloration can be very intense, making for an interesting display that’s not to be missed!
