Comments: These are fabulous fish with vibrant colors.
Origin: Cobalt Blues 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.
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.
The addition of Lava Rocks will keep nitrates in the ideal range.
Life Span: Mbunas can live for several years. Keep the water conditions excellent and feed them premium foods, and they will most likely breed and produce the next generation of fish for your aquarium.
Breeding: Cobalt Blues and all Mbunas are mouthbrooders. A female lays eggs, a male fertilizes the eggs, and the female picks up the eggs in her mouth.
