- Salt/Fresh: Fresh - Breeds: Melanochromis Auratus - Size: 5 inch full grown
Juveniles to pre-adult, better, healthier stock than what you will find at most pet stores. Fed a proper diet of spirulina algae, seaweed, and brine shrimp every now and then to help combat aggression and induce growth and breeding. This is an aggressive species, recommend keeping with other African Cichlid mbuna.
Tank is pretty well stocked so no one fish gets picked on too much, weekly water changes always made to sustain good water quality and low nitrate levels. PH is usually between 7.8 to 8.0 with half a tsp of aquarium salt added per a gallon for water changed.
Most of them are female, only have a couple of maturing males. Males turn mostly black with a single white stripe and a yellow top fin, females stay yellow with black and white stripes. All stripes horizontal.
Price range from 2.00 to 5.00 depending on what size you want.
Batch of Kenyi coming soon. Doza42 (Yuma, AZ)
