"Super VC-10" Milomo Cichlid
The "Super VC-10" Milomo Cichlid will bring a lot of color to your aquarium. Males get bright blue bodies with red spots. However, the males are also usually more aggressive, so we suggest a ratio of 3 to 4 females to one male. They received the name VC-10 from the Vickers VC10 jet airliner, which would commonly fly between Malawi and England. They prefer an aquarium with a sandy substrate with lots of hiding spaces. In the wild, the "Super VC-10" Milomo Cichlids are found in brackish waters, so they will do best in aquariums with a basic pH and low salinity. Use caution when choosing aquarium's size because they can grow to about 8" long. Be sure to feed a varied diet of meaty foods and pellets that contain vegetable matter.
