Bumblebee Cichlids are bold and striking Mbuna from Lake Malawi, named for their black-and-yellow banded coloration. As juveniles, they display bright bumblebee patterns that may shift as they mature. These cichlids are highly territorial and aggressive, especially with similarly colored species, and require rock-heavy aquariums with clearly defined territories.
