Pseudocrenilabrus

Egyptian, Copper and Nicolsi offers are separate named cichlids. Read their identity and any stated sex, then plan territory, retreats and a way to manage aggression. A breeding behaviour described for the species does not promise that a purchased fish is female, carrying young or paired with a suitable mate.

Check temperature, hardness, feeding and adult dimensions against the aquarium you can provide. These offers should not inherit one generic African-cichlid or nano-tank recipe. Observe feeding and social behaviour after introduction, and assess each companion rather than assuming that small cichlids are automatically peaceful together.
