| − | = | + | |origin=:Endemic to Lake Malawi. |
| − | :Endemic to Lake Malawi. | + | |sexing=:Males are blue whereas juveniles and females are yellow. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:Should be kept in an African Cichlid Mbuna set up only. Several females should be kept per male. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Will accept most foods including cichlid pellets, live/frozen food such as [[bloodworm]] and [[brine shrimp]] and will also nibble at plant matter. Common diseases are [[Malawi Bloat]] from too much protein. Mbuna are mostly herbivores, do not feed them like South American Cichlids, something low protein like New Life Balance is good. Emerald Entree is a good low protein frozen food. They love fresh vegetables, weigh them down with something and they'll figure it out eventually. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. more often when they're younger so they reach maximum size | |
| − | :Males are blue whereas juveniles and females are yellow. | + | |environment_specifics=:Prefers a typical Mbuna type set up of a high pH and rockwork decor. At least 2 caves per cichlid. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:Territorial and aggressive, a typical African Cichlid. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Elongated vibrantly coloured fish. Males are brilliant sky blue to dark blue, the colours show a "checkerboard" pattern with alternating light and dark patches, with several light-coloured "egg spots" on their anal fin. Females and juveniles bright yellow-orange in colour. Can be mistaken for ''[[Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos]]''. | |
