Pseudotropheus Elongatus Chailosi Malawi African Cichlid

Overview: The Pseudotropheus Elongatus Chailosi, a striking Malawi cichlid, captivates with its vibrant coloration and elongated body. Sporting shades of electric blue and yellow, this species is a stunning addition to any cichlid enthusiast’s tank.

Origin: Native to the rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa, these cichlids thrive in the rocky, oxygen-rich zones of their natural habitat.

Feeding: They relish a varied diet consisting of high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with occasional treats of live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and spirulina.

Tank Mates: Best housed with other Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament. Avoid pairing them with overly aggressive or significantly smaller tank mates to prevent conflicts.

Aggression: Known for their territorial nature, these cichlids can exhibit moderate to high aggression, especially during breeding periods or when establishing territories. Provide ample hiding spots and space to reduce aggression.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists familiar with managing cichlid behavior and providing appropriate tank conditions.

Water Parameters: Ideal conditions include a pH range of 7.8-8.6, water temperature between 76-82°F (24-28°C), and hard alkaline water with a dH range of 10-20.
