Tangerine Tiger Hap – Lake Malawi 

1.5 to 2" Unsexed. 

The Tangerine Tiger Hap is a striking Lake Malawi cichlid admired for its vibrant coloration and bold presence. This species displays a vivid tangerine to deep orange body accented with distinctive dark vertical barring, creating a dramatic “tiger” pattern that becomes more intense as the fish matures and establishes dominance.
