Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Rosy Trewavas' Mbuna (Labeotropheus trewavasae Rosy form) is a Lake Malawi rock-grazing cichlid. The old `- rosy` suffix is a trade colour/form note, not part of the scientific name.
| Sale size | 6-7 cm on this variant; smaller and larger sizes may appear on the parent listing |
|---|---|
| Adult size | Around 12 cm, with some forms appearing larger in aquariums |
| Minimum aquarium | 200 litres or more for a planned mbuna group |
| Water | 24-28°C, pH 7.5-8.5, hard alkaline Lake Malawi conditions |
| Diet | Spirulina, algae wafers and vegetable-rich cichlid foods |
Provide a rockwork-heavy aquarium with clear territories and robust filtration. This is an assertive mbuna, so tank mates should be other suitable Lake Malawi cichlids rather than peaceful community fish.
Livestock is packed for delivery by a licensed live-animal courier and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee when the policy conditions are followed.
