Our Guide To Keeping Multifasciatus Cichlid Fish

  1. About Fish Species:

    • Scientific name: Neolamprologus multifasciatus
    • Common name: Multifasciatus Cichlid
    • Family: Cichlidae
    • Origin: Lake Tanganyika in East Africa
    • Adult length: 4 cm
    • Lifespan: 5 to 8 years
  2. Tank Setup:

    • Neolamprologus multifasciatus prefer a tank with multiple hiding spots like caves, shells, or rocky structures.
    • Provide fine sand substrate to mimic their natural habitat as they like to dig and burrow.
  3. Water Parameters:

    • Maintain a pH range of 7.8 to 9.0 and a water temperature between 24 to 26°C (75 to 79°F).
    • Keep the water quality high with regular water changes and efficient filtration.
  4. Filtration and Water Flow:

    • A strong filtration system is recommended to maintain water quality, but ensure the flow isn't too strong to stress the fish.
  5. Diet:

    • Neolamprologus multifasciatus are omnivores and should be fed a varied diet including high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms.
  6. Tank mates:

    • They are best kept in a species-only tank or with other Tanganyikan cichlids of similar size and temperament.
  7. Behavior and Compatibility:

    • Neolamprologus multifasciatus are highly social and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals.
    • They are territorial, especially when breeding, so provide plenty of hiding places to reduce aggression.
