Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Demasoni Cichlid is a vibrant Lake Malawi species known for its electric blue and black stripes. Reaching about 3 inches, it brings bold color and energy to African cichlid tanks. Best kept in rocky, hardscape-rich setups, Demasonis are territorial and do well in groups of 10+ or with other assertive Mbuna. A minimum 55-gallon tank with hard, alkaline water is ideal. They thrive on a spirulina-based diet with occasional blanched veggies. With the right care, Demasonis are a lively, colorful addition for hobbyists.
