These cichlids inherit the best qualities of the parent species, including vibrant colors, active behavior, and territorial instincts. They are known for their striking patterns and hues, which can include bright yellows, blues, oranges, and reds. Like other Mbuna cichlids, they are energetic and territorial, requiring a large tank with plenty of hiding spots. They are ideal for aquarists who appreciate the dynamic nature of cichlids and enjoy the challenge of maintaining a robust and colorful community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"780\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"890\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"890\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"804\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experienced aquarists who enjoy the energy and territorial nature of Mbuna cichlids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"928\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"928\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"915\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"963\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"963\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"989\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"989\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"979\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5–8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1105\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1105\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 male with several females (males can be territorial, especially during breeding)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1192\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1192\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1126\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be aggressive; best with other robust, territorial cichlids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1219\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1219\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–15 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
