Red Zebra, Orange Zebra |
Metriaclima Estherae Red |
12.5cm |
Lake Malawi, East Africa |
Kept with other Mbuna species. |
23 – 28 degrees |
Omnivore, prefers a vegtable diet. But can take flakes and pellets. |
In the wild males turn blue, while the females stay orange. But in captive males and females both the orange colours. The way we can distinch males from females at this stage are males usually have more egg spots then the females. |
Red Zebras are known for the activeness in the tank, they also are a nice species to be added to the collection. They can be aggresive and should be kept with other cichlids that can fend for themselves. |
