he Taiwan Reef Cichlid (Protomelas sp. Steveni Taiwan) is a gorgeous species of cichlid normally found in select areas in the Taiwan Reef of Lake Malawi, Africa. Taiwan Reef Cichlid is one of the most popular Haplochromis amongst African Cichlid keepers because of its vibrant electric blue and bright yellow colors. While they are slightly territorial, this species of cichlid gets along with Haps and other cichlids very well, making them perfect for any aquarium owner looking to add a pop of colour to their Cichlid tank. It takes about two years for males to fully show their colours, however, they are worth the wait.
