Cichlids Mbuna - Regal Blue

Name: Blue Regal Mbuna
Scientific Name: Commonly sold as Maylandia callainos or Pseudotropheus zebra “Blue Regal” (varies by supplier)
Maximum Length: About 4–5 inches
Favorite Things: Rocky aquascapes with caves, shelves, and tight crevices. The Blue Regal Mbuna is prized for its intense electric-blue coloration and confident swimming behavior. Thrives on a mostly herbivorous diet—spirulina flakes, algae wafers, and cichlid pellets help maintain health and maximize color.
Best Buddies: Best kept with other similarly sized and temperament-matched Mbuna. Works well in highly stocked Malawi tanks where aggression is spread out. Avoid peaceful community fish or soft-water species.
