Pseudotropheus sp. 'Daktari' "Doctors Cichlid"
Also referred to as the Doctor's Cichlid, as Daktari is apparently the Swahili word for Doctor. These slender Mbuna usually show distinctive black edges on the tail. Males show yellow with some blue speckling, while females remain yellow-tan in color.
Pseudotropheus are typically rather aggressive and should only be kept with other Pseudotropheus and Malawian Mbuna that can take their rowdy behavior. Theses albinos tend to be a little less aggressive, but try to keep them in a small harem, one male per 2-3 females. Be sure to feed Pseudotropheus 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 cave will be appreciated by Mbuna cichlids.
