-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 50-55 gallons for a group of Demasoni Cichlids, as they are small but can be aggressive.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 74-82°F (23-28°C), a pH level of 7.6-8.6, and hard water, mimicking the conditions of Lake Malawi.
-
Filtration: Effective filtration is crucial to handle their waste and maintain water quality. Use a powerful filter to ensure good oxygenation.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with plenty of rock formations and caves for hiding spots. Demasoni Cichlids are territorial and need their own space.
-
Tank Mates: Keep them with other Lake Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament, but avoid mixing them with other Demasoni Cichlids to prevent aggression.
-
Diet: They are omnivores, accepting high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia, and occasional vegetable matter.
