Snow White Cichlid (Pseudotropheus Socolofi)
Snow White Cichlid (Pseudotropheus Socolofi)
The Snow White Cichlid brings striking contrast to any African cichlid aquarium with its solid white coloration. A variation of the mbuna group from Lake Malawi, it exhibits a more peaceful temperament than many of its relatives, allowing it to cohabitate well with peacock cichlids and other compatible species.
Its vibrant, clean aesthetic pairs exceptionally well alongside colorful tankmates such as red zebras and cobalt blues in a community setup. Adapting easily to standard aquarium fare, this hardy freshwater fish accepts flake, live, and frozen foods while reaching a mature size of up to 12.7 cm.
