| Sale size | 6-7 cm on this variant; smaller and larger sizes may appear on the parent listing |

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.
