The Duboisi Cichlid, commonly known as the White Spotted Cichlid, is a species of African Cichlid. Within Africa, they are endemic to Lake Tanganyika. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, these fish are classified as “vulnerable”. They have only been found in four northern regions of the lake. One of the trademark characteristics of the White Spotted Cichlid is that it undergoes a dramatic physical transformation with age. Juvenile fish appear jet black with many small white spots. As they age, these spots fade entirely, and their heads develop a blueish tint. They will also grow a thick yellow band that sits just behind the pectoral fin. The Duboisi Cichlid can grow up to five inches in length.
