Description

Pseudotropheus Cynotilapia Kingsizei Malawi African Cichlid

Overview: The Cynotilapia Kingsizei, known for its vibrant colors and dynamic behavior, is a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. This small, yet striking cichlid, showcases a mix of blues, yellows, and blacks, making it a standout species. Ideal for enthusiasts looking to add a dash of natural beauty and activity to their tanks.

Origin: Native to the rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa, Cynotilapia Kingsizei thrives in environments that replicate the lake’s unique ecosystem. They are found in the wild grazing on algae and small invertebrates amidst the rocky landscapes.

Feeding: Primarily herbivores, Cynotilapia Kingsizei does well on a diet rich in high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes designed for African cichlids, supplemented with spirulina and occasional treats of live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia to promote vibrant coloration and health.

Tank Mates: Compatible with other Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament, they do best in a community tank that mimics their natural habitat. Avoid overly aggressive species to prevent stress and territorial disputes. Ideal tank mates include other Mbuna cichlids and peaceful Malawi species.

Aggression: Exhibiting typical Mbuna temperament, Cynotilapia Kingsizei can be territorial, especially during breeding. Providing ample rocks and hiding places can mitigate aggression and encourage natural behavior. A spacious tank is recommended to allow sufficient territory for each fish.

Experience Level: Suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While not overly demanding, their need for specific water conditions and dietary requirements, coupled with their social dynamics, requires a bit more knowledge and experience for successful care.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 7.8-8.6
  • Hardness: 10-20 dGH
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: 0 ppm
  • Nitrate: <20 ppm

Regular water changes, stable water parameters, and a well-filtered aquarium are essential to keep your Cynotilapia Kingsizei healthy and thriving. Add a piece of Lake Malawi to your home with these fascinating and colorful cichlids!
