Nanochromis Cichlids

The parilus and transvestitus species profiles both call for soft, acidic water, but their advice differs. Compare the named offer with your measured pH and hardness and the water you can keep stable. Read dimidiatus separately; the Nanochromis label does not establish one care recipe for all three. Prepare the aquarium before choosing by colour.

For parilus and transvestitus, provide sand for digging and caves or covered retreats. Secure the décor so excavation cannot undermine it, and leave routes out of one fish’s territory. “Dwarf” describes the fish, not a licence to crowd the aquarium. Check floor space and companions for the species you choose; buying two fish does not prove that they will tolerate each other.

Have suitable small live and frozen foods ready for parilus and transvestitus. Ask what the current fish are eating and confirm a practical feeding plan before ordering. Assess the dimidiatus offer separately. Supplied length, XL and colour do not guarantee sex or a compatible pair. Check the sale unit and the selected size’s availability before setting a quantity.
