Labidochromis Perlmutt Malawi African Cichlid Small 2 Inches

Overview: The Labidochromis Perlmutt, a striking Malawi African Cichlid, boasts a shimmering pearlescent sheen over its slender body. With its captivating appearance and vibrant personality, this species is a gem for any freshwater aquarium.

Origin: Native to Lake Malawi in Africa, these cichlids thrive in rocky habitats along the lake’s shores.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, the Perlmutt enjoys a varied diet including high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms to maintain optimal health and coloration.

Tank Mates: Best suited with other Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament. Careful selection of tank mates is crucial to prevent aggression, ensuring a harmonious community.

Aggression: While moderately territorial, the Perlmutt tends to exhibit mild aggression, especially during breeding periods. Adequate space and hiding spots help mitigate conflicts.

Experience Level: Ideal for aquarists with moderate experience in caring for African Cichlids. Familiarity with their behavior and tank requirements enhances successful husbandry.

Water Parameters: Maintain water temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C) with a pH range of 7.5-8.5. Regular water changes and a well-filtered environment are essential for their thriving health.
