Nova Blue Longnose | Otopharynx sp. “Nova Blue Longnose”

The “Nova Longnose” or “Nova Longnose Peacock” African cichlid, which is also known as Aulonocara jacobfreibergi “Nova”. This species of fish is native to Lake Malawi in East Africa, and is a popular species among aquarists due to its bright colors and peaceful nature. The Nova Longnose cichlid is known for its bright blue head and yellow-orange body, with a long, pointed nose and a black stripe running from the eye to the tail. These fish are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. They are relatively easy to care for, but do require a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a suitable substrate for digging. It is important to provide these fish with plenty of swimming space and to keep them in a species-only tank or with other peaceful cichlids to prevent aggression.
