Pseudotropheus Pearlmutt Malawi African Cichlid

“Meet the captivating Pseudotropheus Pearlmutt Malawi African Cichlid, a stunning addition to any aquarium. Originating from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa, these vibrant fish boast shimmering iridescent scales that showcase hues of blues, purples, and hints of pearl.

Feeding these active cichlids is a breeze as they readily accept high-quality cichlid pellets and flakes. Their diet can be supplemented with occasional treats like frozen or live foods, enhancing their coloration and overall health.

In a community tank, careful selection of tank mates is crucial due to their moderate to high aggression levels, especially among males. Best suited for setups with other Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament, ensuring a harmonious environment.

Their territorial nature requires adequate space and hiding spots among rocky formations, mimicking their natural habitat. An experienced aquarist familiar with managing cichlid aggression and maintaining water quality is ideal for nurturing these beautiful fish.

Maintaining stable water parameters is key, with a pH range of 7.5-8.5, water temperature between 76-82°F (24-28°C), and a moderate to high level of hardness (8-20 dGH). Diligent care and attention to their environment ensure these cichlids thrive and display their dazzling colors in your aquarium.”
