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 "Super VC-10" Milomo Cichlid will bring a lot of color to your aquarium. Males get bright blue bodies with red spots. However, the males are also usually more aggressive, so we suggest a ratio of 3 to 4 females to one male. They received the name VC-10 from the Vickers VC10 jet airliner, which would commonly fly between Malawi and England. They prefer an aquarium with a sandy substrate with lots of hiding spaces. In the wild, the "Super VC-10" Milomo Cichlids are found in brackish waters, so they will do best in aquariums with a basic pH and low salinity. Use caution when choosing aquarium's size because they can grow to about 8" long. Be sure to feed a varied diet of meaty foods and pellets that contain vegetable matter.

- Care Level: Easy
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Minimum Tank Size: 70 gallons
- Max Size: 8"
- Diet: Omnivore
- Add to aquarium with ample hiding places and sandy substrate

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
