It is a tiny cichlid, with males reaching just under 4 inches (10 cm) and females reaching about 3 1\/2 inches (10 cm) (9 cm). It makes a lovely addition to a mixed-species aquarium due to its personality and striking color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow-colored fish are more uncommon in freshwater tanks, thus this attractive cichlid is in high demand. This is possibly the most well-known cichlid ever transported from the lake. The first specimens were shipped in 1958, but it remained extremely rare and expensive until the 1970s when it was mass-bred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther common names it is known by are the Leleupi, Orange Leleupi Cichlid, Gold Cichlid, Gold Leleupi Cichlid, and Tanganyikan Lemon Cichlid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of the Lemon Cichlid is elongated, with a continuous dorsal fin, a fan-shaped caudal fin, and wide lips. Males can grow up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length in the aquarium, but they can grow up to 5 inches (12 cm) in the wild. Females are typically smaller, reaching about 3 1\/2 inches in length (9 cm). With adequate care, they can live for 8 to 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour of specimens can vary greatly.
