The Maingano cichlid (Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos) is a small, bright blue fish native to Lake Malawi in Africa. They are also known as electric blue mainganos. Maingano cichlids can grow to be 5–6 inches long and have short, rounded snouts, small, stout bodies, and shorter fins. Both males and females have dark bodies with electric blue stripes that run from their shoulders to their tails, but females tend to be slightly muted in color and have lighter bellies and shorter pelvic fins.

Description

Maingano cichlids are carnivorous and require a lot of protein in their diet, which can include frozen or live food like bloodworms, as well as pellets or flakes formulated for them. They are territorial animals with a feisty temper that can be virulent against other territorial species and provoke heated fights. Dominant males can be particularly aggressive and may fight each other intensely, sometimes resulting in the submission or even death of one of the combatants.
