Dwarf Egyptian Mouthbrooder (Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor) is a compact African cichlid best known for maternal mouthbrooding. The old listing carried a spelling error and generic tropical-fish wording; this version keeps the focus on the real fish, its small adult size and its need for sensible cichlid stocking.
| Adult size | Up to about 8 cm |
|---|---|
| Minimum aquarium | 80 litres for a planned trio; more space for groups |
| Water | 20-24°C, around pH 6.8-7.2; stable, clean freshwater |
| Diet | Small cichlid pellets plus frozen or live foods and some vegetable matter |
| Temperament | Territorial when breeding; avoid tiny or delicate bottom dwellers |
Keep one male with several females where possible, using plants, wood, caves and broken sight lines. Calm upper-water fish can work in a roomy aquarium, but this is still a cichlid and should not be treated as a tiny peaceful shoaling fish.
