 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
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
complaints!!!

General Information:
The Cobalt
Blue Zebra Cichlid is also known as the Cobalt Blue Cichlid or Zebra Malawi
Cichlid and comes from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi, Africa. The coloration
of the Cobalt Blue is a pale blue background with seven to eight blue-black bars
with four orange egg-shaped spots on the anal fin.
The Cobalt Blue will do
best in a cichlid community aquarium with numerous rocks and caves with a sandy
bottom and plenty of places to set up territories. A laterite-based substrate is
ideal for this system as it will help 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 Cobalt Blue should be
fed foods rich in vegetable matter such as flake, pellet and leafy seaweeds.
Their diets should also be supplemented with meaty plankton-rich foods such as
brine shrimp and blood worms.
