They are known from the shallower, southern sections of the lake. Unlike most other localities, they have very little to no patterning in their fins though they will still display, blue, black, and yellow coloration in them. They also have yellow bordering their mostly silver bodies beneath their four black stripes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e  Julidochromis regani\u003c\/em\u003e, also known as Regan's Julie, are one of the largest \u003cem\u003eJulidochromis \u003c\/em\u003especies that are found almost all throughout Lake Tanganyika. Like all \u003cem\u003eJulidochromis, \u003c\/em\u003ethis species sports a torpedo-shaped body and a fairly small mouth. There are a number of localities available in the hobby whose colors can range anywhere from golden yellow to almost completely black. The base \u003cem\u003eJulidochromis regani \u003c\/em\u003edisplays multiple horizontal black stripes against a white or yellow base along the entire length of their body all the way up to their mouths. Occasionally they will get blue accents in their ornately patterned fins adding extra color to an already beautiful fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  In the wild, J\u003cem\u003eulidochromis regani \u003c\/em\u003einhabit rocky areas of the lake and can often be seen hovering upside-down below a rocky outcropping. If provided a similar set up with plenty of rockwork and decor, they are very likely to also display this behavior in captivity which can be fascinating to watch. This will also create multiple territories which will help reduce aggression if keeping multiple pairs together. While J\u003cem\u003eulidochromis regani \u003c\/em\u003eare fairly peaceful to non-conspecifics that aren't small enough to be eaten, they can become very territorial. So, while a 30 gallon is enough for one pair, 50 gallons are more are recommended for a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  Julies make for an excellent candidate for a breeder looking to try Tanganyikan cichlids, as they are cave spawners and tend to produce quite a few fry, which they raise for several weeks. Sexing is nearly impossible, so young groups should be kept together until they pair off. Keeping them at a high pH and a high TDS will help keep these fish healthy and can help encourage spawning. Feeding a high quality diet high in insect and crustacean protein along with the occasional algae\/vegetable based food will also help in getting them to breed. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"1-2\" Unsexed","offer_id":52519956283608,"sku":"ukg1790049078329","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3” Unsexed","offer_id":52519956316376,"sku":"jdx1790049078330","price":19.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/9852\/0280\/files\/julidochromis-regani-nsumbu_1.png?v=1790049086","url":"https:\/\/mochapotset.shop\/products\/julidochromis-regani-nsumbu","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
