Red Top Albino Cobalt Zebra

The Red Top Albino Zebra Cichlid is a rare and striking variant of the classic Zebra Mbuna from Lake Malawi. It features a creamy white to pale pink body with brilliant red or orange accents on the dorsal (top) fin, combined with distinctive red albino eyes. This unique colour pattern makes it a standout in any African cichlid aquarium.

As with other Mbuna, this fish is active and mildly territorial, best suited for tanks with lots of rockwork, hiding spots, and visual barriers. The Red Top Albino brings both personality and vivid colour to Malawi setups, especially when kept in groups.
