Also called Dickfeld’s Julie, the Brown Julie is endemic to Lake Tanganyika in Africa. Lake Tanganyika is the largest African rift lake and the second largest freshwater lake in the world. Brown Julie Cichlids tend to inhabit shallow waters, especially the rocky shorelines of the lake. These fish have slim, elongated bodies and pointed snouts. Their coloring may vary from silver to brown and may also have a blue sheen to it. Most specimens exhibit three dark horizontal stripes running along the length of the body along with three smaller stripes on the forehead. The fins of these fish are typically uncolored except for blue edging.
