The Maingano cichlid has got to be one of the coolest and under-rated African cichlids available in the aquarium hobby. These fun little cichlids look and behave very much like Mbuna and have such contrasting and electric colours. Maingano cichlids only reach around 10 cm as adults and make for a great entry-level African cichlid because they can be kept in smaller aquariums.

Colourful lively little fish.I added a couple of these little fellas to my 4ft cichlid tank with electric yellows and electric blues. They disappeared for a few days but when the eventually established themselves they became very active and fearless. They are a very attractive and healthly little fish and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow up.

Colourful and sociableI had 2 of these little fish (4cm) arrive safe and well with 8 other cichlids after being in transit for 2 days! They are in with Demasoni and Electric Yellows and have no trouble being with larger fish (10-15cm). The larger one of the same species that i already had is an entertaining fish who moves large piles of sand around the tank as it suits him making big holes unders rocks. Great to watch and i'm sure the new babies will be just as entertaining when they grow up! A good fish to keep with Demasoni etc. as they will hold their own.
