Metriaclima callainos "Cobalt Zebra"
The Cobalt Zebra, Metriaclima callainos, was previously known as Pseudotropheus cobalt. This species has solid powder blue coloration, and they may show faint bars depending on mood.
Metriaclima are aggressive and should only be kept with other cichlids of similar temperament that can take their rowdy behavior. Keep these fish in small harems with one male and several females.
Be sure to feed them a diet rich in greens and vegetable matter. This is very important, as too much protein can lead to deadly Malawi bloat. Typical Malawi decor such as lots of rocks and caves will be appreciated and will allow these fish to establish territory. This is a maternal mouthbrooding fish, meaning the female will keep the eggs and fry in her mouth for protection.
