Cyrtocara Moorii is a beautiful, mild-tempered fish that is a delight to keep. It is commonly known as the Malawi Blue Dolphin, and was once classified as Haplochromis Moorii. Now it is the only species belonging to the genus Cyrtocara. The nickname Blue Dolphin originates from the shape of its head has a nuchal hump and bill-like mouth which resembles that of a dolphin. This fish is quite rare in Lake Malawi, although it has a very wide distribution.In the wild, Cyrtocara Moorii displays a very unique feeding adaptation. Classified as a micro-predator, it follows close behind substrate-digging cichlids like Taeniolethrinops Praeorbitalis, Fossorochromis Rostratus, and Mylochromis Lateristriga and feeds on the small edible organisms and particles that get stirred up behind them as they feed.
