Cichlids Mbuna - Socolofi

Name: Socolofi Mbuna
Scientific Name: Pseudotropheus socolofi (often sold as Chindongo socolofi)
Maximum Length: About 4–5 inches
Favorite Things: Rocky, cave-filled Malawi setups with strong hardscape. Socolofi Mbuna show off a soft powder-blue body with darker fin edges—one of the classic, peaceful-looking but still active Mbuna species. They thrive on a high-vegetable diet including spirulina flakes, algae wafers, and herbivore pellets to keep colors crisp and digestion healthy.
Best Buddies: Ideal with other similarly sized Mbuna such as zebras, labs, rusties, and elongatus types. Works best in well-stocked Malawi tanks to diffuse territorial behavior. Not suitable for peaceful community tanks or soft-water species.
