Ice Blue Cichlid

Ice Blue Zebra Cichlid

The Ice Blue Zebra Cichlid, or simply Ice Blue Cichlid, comes from a small area of southern Lake Malawi. Fortunately breeders keep this fish available to the aquarium hobby – the colors are a unique light blue and yellow. Ice Blue Cichlids are hardy and moderately aggressive, similar to peacock cichlids in size and temperament. We also like the ice blue cichlid because the scientific name is not credited to a famous ichthyologist or zoologist, but a humble aquarium hobbyist from Germany named Alfons Greshake.
