Labidochromis Hongi Red Top Malawi African Cichlid Small 2 Inches

Overview: Radiant and vibrant, the Labidochromis Hongi Red Top is a stunning addition to any aquarium. Originating from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi, this cichlid showcases a fiery red dorsal fin and striking blue body, adding a burst of color to your tank.

Origin: Hailing from Lake Malawi in East Africa, these cichlids thrive in rocky habitats along the shoreline, preferring areas with plenty of caves and hiding spots.

Feeding: A versatile omnivore, the Hongi Red Top enjoys a varied diet comprising high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with occasional treats like live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms.

Tank Mates: Best suited for tanks with other Lake Malawi cichlids, particularly those of similar size and temperament. Avoid pairing with overly aggressive species or those with vastly different dietary needs.

Aggression: Moderate aggression levels typical of cichlids, especially during breeding periods or territorial disputes. Providing ample hiding spots and territories within the tank can help mitigate aggression.

Experience Level: Ideal for intermediate to experienced aquarists familiar with cichlid behavior and the needs of Lake Malawi species. Proper tank setup and understanding of their social dynamics are key to their thriving.

Water Parameters: Maintain water temperature between 76-82°F (24-28°C), pH levels around 7.5-8.5, and hardness (dH) of 10-20° for optimal health. Regular water changes and monitoring are essential for their well-being.
