Labidochromis sp. "perlmutt"

Labidochromis sp. 'Perlmutt' is a peaceful and colorful mbuna often maintained in cichlid community tanks. The species is known for its distinctive metallic sheen and harmonious nature relative to other cichlids. They exhibit malawi bloat if stressed or fed improperly, thus requiring a diet rich in spirulina and other plant matter, and should be housed in a well-filtered and cycled tank mimicking their rocky, hard-bottomed natural habitats.
