Chloe Poole –
The Multifasciatus Cichlid is a vibrant and active fish that adds energy to the tank. It eats well on a mix of pellets and frozen foods. The coloration is striking, especially in the sunlight. Easy to care for once the water parameters are stable.
Fiona Hudson –
This fish is quite active and enjoys exploring the tank. I feed it a varied diet and it seems to thrive. It’s not the easiest to keep with aggressive species, so it’s best in a well-maintained, spacious tank.
