Metriaclima lombardoi "Kenyi" - Small Juvenile
Metriaclima lombardoi were previously named Pseudotropheus. They originated around Mbenji Island and Nkhomo Reef in Lake Malawi. Female and juvenile Kenyi are blue with vertical black stripes, while males are yellow to orange, and bars may appear with mood.
These Mbuna are rather aggressive and should only be kept with other cichlids that can take their rowdy behavior. Try to keep one male per 2-3 females, and do not mix similar males, especially in small tanks. Lots of rocks and caves should be created in the tank to help the fish establish territory and provide cover.
Be sure to feed mbuna a diet rich in greens and vegetable matter, as they are herbivores, and cannot tolerate too much protein in their diet.
