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.
