The Albino Taiwan Reef - Small  (Protomelas sp. "Taiwan Reef") is a stunning albino variant of the popular Taiwan Reef Cichlid, known for its graceful swimming and striking coloration. This fish features a luminous white body with soft hints of pink, peach, and yellow, making it a rare and eye-catching addition to any Lake Malawi cichlid aquarium. Reaching a size of 5 to 6 inches, the Albino Taiwan Reef thrives in a spacious tank with plenty of open swimming areas and rocky structures for territory and hiding. Semi-aggressive in temperament, they coexist best with other peaceful-to-moderately aggressive African cichlids of similar size. With proper care, this elegant species can live for 5 to 8 years, providing vibrant beauty and charm to your tank.
