Assorted Pseudotropheus is a mix of vibrant cichlids from the Pseudotropheus genus, native to the rocky shores of Lake Malawi. These fish come in a stunning variety of colors, ranging from bold blues and fiery oranges to yellows and stripes, making them a lively and eye-catching addition to African cichlid tanks. Growing to 4 to 6 inches, these cichlids are known for their active swimming and territorial behavior, which makes them best suited for aquariums with plenty of rocks and caves to establish territories. They are semi-aggressive and thrive in a community of similarly sized, robust cichlids. With proper care, including a herbivore-focused diet and well-maintained water conditions, Assorted Pseudotropheus can live for 5 to 8 years, bringing color and energy to your aquarium.
