Electric Blue Cichlid Care

The Electric Blue Cichlid is a dazzling species prized for its vibrant electric blue coloration and active behavior. Native to Lake Malawi, this semi-aggressive fish thrives in a well-maintained aquarium that mimics its natural habitat.

• Care Level: Easy – These hardy fish are perfect for intermediate aquarists and are relatively easy to care for with proper tank conditions.
• Tank Requirements: A spacious tank of at least 350 liters is required to accommodate their active swimming and territorial nature. Include rocks and caves to create hiding spots and establish territories.
• Water Parameters: Maintain a temperature of 25-29°C and a pH between 7.8-8.6, replicating the hard, alkaline waters of Lake Malawi.
• Diet: Electric Blue Cichlids are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, and plant-based items like spinach or zucchini.
• Behavior: These cichlids can be semi-aggressive, especially during breeding. Providing adequate space and hiding spots helps reduce territorial disputes and promote harmony in the tank.

Reaching a maximum size of around 15 cm, the Electric Blue Cichlid adds a vivid splash of color and energy to large aquariums, making it a stunning centerpiece for Lake Malawi setups.
