As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.

state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale

because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any

General Information:
The Demasoni Cichlid, Pseudotropheus demasoni,
is a relatively rare cichlid, which originates from a specific rocky point
called Pombo Rocks, within the waters of Lake Malawi located in Tanzania,
Africa. The male of this species has dark blue or black vertical stripes with
alternating lighter stripes of light blue to white. The male Demasoni Cichlid
also displays the typical spots on the anal fin, and is considerably larger than
the female. The female of this species is not as brilliantly colored, and lacks
the spots on the anal fin.
A large aquarium with plenty of caves and
hiding places is ideal for these fish. An aragonite-based substrate is
recommended in order to maintain the necessary high pH and alkalinity.
For best results in spawning, the males should
be kept with at least three females. The female will spawn on a flat rock, and
will take the unfertilized eggs into her mouth and will follow closely behind
the male until he releases the sperm to fertilize the eggs. The female will then
incubate the eggs for approximately three weeks before releasing the fry. The
fry can then be fed newly hatched brine shrimp, daphnia, or crushed flake food.
The Demasoni Cichlid needs to be fed vegetable
rich foods in the form of flake food, dried seaweed and algae. Brine shrimp,
small fish and other meaty foods should only be fed periodically, as their main
diet should consist of vegetable matter.
