Julidochromis regani 'Zambia gold' is a substrate-spawning Tanganyikan cichlid. This elongated cichlid has three to four (depending on variety) dark horizontal stripes over a tan/cream to orange background. There is a notable triangular-shaped marking on the cheek. The dorsal and caudal fins are edged in electric blue. Julidochromis regani 'Zambia gold' gets rather large for a Julie, up to five inches or so. Most folks believe the females get bigger than the males. According to Ad Konings, yellow varieties of Julidochromis regani are found in shallow areas sand and rocks. The darker varieties of the fish with a cream base were observed in deeper rockier areas. Thus, the fish has adapted color patterns for the best chance of survival.
