These cichlids come from harder water conditions and should only be housed with species of the same origin and temperament. Preparing the water with Malawi cichlid minerals (Cichlid Lake Salt) and alkaline buffers (Malawi Victoria Buffer) helps provide ideal conditions for preserving their health and color. As with most cichlids, bullying is commonly experienced and keeping a larger group helps reduce aggression. It is not abnormal for dominant alpha males to become more colorful while others fade to avoid attention, adjusting hiding spaces or changing the number of fish can affect their color and behavior.

Peacock and Hap cichlids readily accepts most foods, but care must be taken to select an appropriate diet designed specifically for cichlids which is rich in Spirulina, avoid over feeding or adding food intended for other species. It must also be noted that hybrid species may require a color enhancing diet to remain vibrant.

Fish Size Guide:

The ‘Maximum Size’ outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as “Large” or “Adult”.
