How easy are they to care for?
We would class these as an easy level of care.

How large can they grow?
9cm

Where in the world are they from?
Lake Tanganyika - Africa

What is the ideal number to keep together?
Can be kept in groups but become territorial when spawning. Males can be quite relentless when pursuing potential mates.

What water conditions do they require?
Malawi Cichlids prefer warmer, harder waters. Temperatures from 24-28 degrees Celsius and pH from 7.5 - 8.5. Higher pH levels will help promote their best colours.

What should you feed them?
A high vegetable diet is recommended, feed specialist african cichlid pellets to prevent diseases such as Malawi Bloat brought on by too much protein content in their diet.

How compatible are they with other fish?
Should only be kept with other African Cichlids and Catfish. Boisterous bordering on Aggressive when breeding.

Can they be bred in captivity?
Commonly bred in private aquaria. Flat stones and open areas of sand should be provided as spawning sites. Males will prepare the spawning site prior to breeding, at which point the female will approach and deposit her eggs ready to be fertilised by the male. Eggs will hatch after 2-3 days. It should be noted, if females are removed from the tank to care for fry they may loose their position within the colony and be subject to some pecking when reintroduced.
