Males typically showcase a bright blue or purple hue, with orange or yellow accents on the fins, while females tend to be more subdued in coloration, often a silvery-gray or pale blue. This species is part of the Mbuna group, which is characterized by its rocky habitat preferences and territorial behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"839\" class=\"\"\u003eThe Aurora Cichlid requires a well-established tank with plenty of hiding spots and territories to reduce aggression. It's important to house them with other similarly sized and tempered species, as they can be quite territorial, especially during breeding. Their diet should be varied with high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen foods, and occasional vegetable matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1103\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"855\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"869\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Semi-aggressive, territorial\u003cbr data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"918\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"926\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – 4 to 6 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"945\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"958\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 55 gallons minimum\u003cbr data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"982\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"997\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 76°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1015\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1023\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (pellets, live foods, and some plant matter)\u003cbr data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 7.8 to 8.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1305\" class=\"\"\u003e🌿 \u003cem data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eThe Aurora Cichlid brings a burst of color and personality to any tank, making it a great addition to any Malawi cichlid collection.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1305\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Aurora Cichlid (Pseudotropheus sp.).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":47946352361694,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\"","offer_id":47946352394462,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Untitleddesign-3.png?v=1772578068","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/aurora-cichlid","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
