Turkana Jewel Cichlid Hemichromis Exsul 5cmOverview: The Turkana Jewel Cichlid, scientifically known as Hemichromis Exsul, is a vibrant and captivating freshwater fish that adds a dash of color and liveliness to any aquarium. With its striking red body adorned with jewel-like spots, this species is a favorite among aquarists looking to elevate their tank's visual appeal. However, it's not just their appearance that makes them stand out; their intriguing behavior and social dynamics contribute to a fascinating aquarium experience.
Origin: Native to the waters of Lake Turkana in Kenya, the Turkana Jewel Cichlid thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitat. This species is accustomed to warm, slightly alkaline water conditions and benefits from a setup that includes plenty of hiding spots among rocks and vegetation.
Feeding: As omnivores, Turkana Jewel Cichlids have a varied diet that should include both plant-based foods and protein-rich options. A combination of high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and vegetable supplements will ensure their nutritional needs are met, contributing to their vibrant coloration and overall health.
Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for Turkana Jewel Cichlids is crucial due to their territorial nature. Suitable companions include other similarly sized and temperament cichlids, robust species that can hold their own without provoking aggression. It's advisable to avoid small, timid fish that could become targets for bullying or predation.
Aggression: Turkana Jewel Cichlids exhibit a moderate to high level of aggression, especially during breeding times when they become fiercely protective of their territory. An adequately sized aquarium with plenty of hiding spaces can help mitigate aggressive encounters, ensuring a more harmonious tank environment.
Experience Level: Due to their specific care requirements and aggressive tendencies, Turkana Jewel Cichlids are best suited for intermediate to experienced aquarists. Those with an understanding of cichlid behavior and aquarium management will find these fish a rewarding challenge.
Water Parameters: To thrive, Turkana Jewel Cichlids require water temperatures between 75°F and 82°F (24°C to 28°C), with a pH level ranging from 7.0 to 8.0. Regular water changes and careful monitoring of water quality are essential to maintain the health and well-being of these vibrant fish.
Incorporating Turkana Jewel Cichlids into your aquarium brings a dynamic element to your aquatic ecosystem, combining visual beauty with engaging behavior. With the right care and companions, these jewels of the aquarium world will shine brightly in their aquatic domain.

great sunscreen for face
Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
this is my favorite stick sunscreen for the face. it does have a slight white cast when you first apply it but it goes away once it’s been rubbed into the skin. so many sunscreens say they have a “non-sting formula” but this is the only one i have used that truly doesn’t burn/sting the eyes when applied on the eyelids or when you sweat into your eyes. doesn’t have that traditional “sunscreen smell” either. it leaves a healthy glow to the skin as well. three swipes on all areas of the face is enough coverage. it is a little pricey but i think it lasts quite awhile. highly recommend trying this sunscreen.

Has a white cast
Size: 1.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen has a white cast and you cannot rub it in enough for it to go away. It does protect very well from the sun and I did not burn at all using it. I would use this at the beach or outside but not for everyday use or under make up because of the white cast

Easier to Apply, Less Weight & Pkg, TSA Approved Solid
Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Will never go back. This is super easy to use, to carry with in your bag when you’re gone all day (no spills!), doesn’t feel greasy, works right away because its mineral. In some ways, moisturizes so you don’t even need a primer!

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.
