General Information
These fish are great to keep, but make sure you get good quality ones, as I have had bad quality ones and the colours are horrible on them.

Breeding Info
Generally the same for all Malawians look after the water quality and they will breed. Very easy to breed fish if fed well and a cool water change is done, breeding is achieved, can start breeding from around 5cm, as sexes can be told at birth.

Comments
A nice fish, and if you get good quality absolutely beautiful.
