Click here to see many color varieties of Trewavasae. All Mbuna species, like these Trewavasae, have color variations in different parts of Lake Malawi.
The picture above shows one such variety, the so-called Red Top Trewavasae.
Our supplier is spawning many varieties and in this case shipped us a variety of Assorted Trewavasae.
These fish are young, and so it's difficult to determine what they'll grow up to be, but it'll be exciting to raise some up and see what color patterns they'll develop.
Comments: These are fabulous fish with vibrant colors.
Origin: Trewavasae are Mbunas, which is a large family of Cichlid fish that originally lived only in Lake Malawi in East Africa.
But now they live in aquariums all over the world. There are several species of Mbunas for sale in this store.
Maximum Size: In aquariums, Trewavasae can grow to be about 5" long, including their tails, which is a very nice size for aquariums.
Rarely, a Trewavasae can grow even longer than 5".
Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include, other Mbuna species and Synodontis Catfish.

Temperature: Mbunas live best from about 75 to 80-degrees F. with 78 being perhaps ideal.

Feeding: Premium Fish Food Pellets is best to feed to Mbunas. Smaller sized pellets when young, and larger sized pellets when bigger, is the ideal food for these fish.

Water Conditions: Lake Malawi has hard alkaline water and that's best for all the fish, whose ancestors lived there.
But these fish can adapt to most types of water, and so as usual it's best not to try to change the pH or alkalinity.
