The Z-Rock is famous for the adult male’s deep, metallic blue body contrasted by a brilliant, neon-yellow "blaze" that runs from the tip of its nose, across the forehead, and along the entire edge of the dorsal fin. If you are looking for a centerpiece fish that commands attention without the extreme aggression of Mbunas, the Z-Rock is your perfect match.
