🧠 Care & Maintenance Tips
-
Keep multiple Demasonis together (6 or more) to spread aggression.
-
Decorate your tank with rocks, caves, and hiding places to mimic their natural Lake Malawi habitat.
-
Avoid mixing with slow or long-finned fish — they may be nipped.
-
Maintain good water quality and stable alkalinity for best health and coloration.
-
Feed a balanced diet of high-quality cichlid flakes, spirulina, and occasional frozen food.
💙 Tank Mates
Demasoni Cichlids do best with other Mbuna species like Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus) or similarly tempered African cichlids. Avoid overly aggressive or very calm fish to maintain a balanced environment.
