Description

Tank-raised Pseudotropheus Saulosi African Cichlids from different broods. This is a Breeding Pair (1) male and (1) female fully grown, approximately 11 months old. They are really stunning and ready to breed. They are on a diet of flakes (Sera Flora Veggie Flakes floating food) and pellets (New Life Spectrum Algae Max Herbivore Diet). These African Cichlids are great to watch as they start their mating ritual. The male will coax the female to a spot prepared by him, and as the female begins laying the eggs the male will follow her fertilizing the eggs as she puts them in her mouth. When they are done, the female's mouth is distended full of eggs. She will hold the eggs in her mouth until the fry are free swimming. It is a good idea to take the male out of the breeding tank (I use a 20 long) and allow the female to have peace and quiet, so that she can nurture the eggs. After a week or so the female will start looking for flake food that she will gently place in her mouth so that the fry can have nourishment. Please make sure the flakes are for a Herbivore diet. After the fry are released by the mother, remove the female and feed the fry crushed flakes at least three times a day. Feed only as much food as the fry can consume in two to three minutes. The Pseudotropheus Saulosi African Cichlid originates from Lake Malawi in East Africa where it lives in areas with rocky substrates. It is classified as a dwarf-Mbuna and was first described by Ad Konings in 1990. It comes from an area of the lake called Taiwan Reef, and from nowhere else. They are peaceful when kept in a large group, and they are all yellow at birth. As they grow the males turn a deep blue with black stripes, and the females remain a deep yellow. A 40 Gallon tank would be ideal for breeding these beautiful fish. Scientific Name : Pseudotropheus Saulosi Common Names : Pseudotropheus Saulosi Cichlid, Dwarf Mbuna Care Level : Considered easy to keep and a good beginner's cichlid. Size : 3.4 inches (8.6 cm) Water Parameters : pH 7.4 - 8.4 | dH range: 7 - 30 | Temperature : 76�F - 80�F (24�C - 27�C) Lifespan : 5 years, likely longer Origin / Habitat : Africa: Lake Malawi, found in Taiwan Reef (north of Chizumulu Island). Temperament / Behavior : Males can become territorial and aggressive with other males. Breeding : Males dig a pit in the sand and the female will mouth-brood (hold the fry in her mouth) for 12 to 18 days. The pair may become territorial, males more so. Aquarium Size : 55 gallon recommended because they like to swim and do well when kept in groups. Tank Mates : Keep them with similarly sized mbuna's Food : A staple diet of algae based foods like spirulina, algae wafers and even nori on a veggie clip can be tried. They rasp at algae on the rock reefs of Lake Malawi. You can mix in brine shrimp, mysis shrimp or similar occasionally. Tank Region : All over the aquarium. Gender : Females and smaller males without territories have the yellow color whereas the males with dominance/territory will be blue with black bars.
