Blue Zebra Mbuna Cichild

"The Blue Zebra  Mbuna is a hardy species found in Lake Malawi, it inhabits areas with a lot of caves where they each claim a territory. This aggressive species is best kept in larger tanks for various reasons. In a large tank you can keep a good number of fish, this will make their aggression tolerable as it will be distributed amongst the whole community instead of just one fish. A larger Aquarium is more forgiving when mistakes are unintentionally committed. The Blue Mbuna is a strong hardy Cichlid, but it should also be given nice filtration, large water changes and a well balanced diet to help them display their brightest colors.
