Mouthbrooder cichlidM. Auratus was one of the first cichlids to be exported from Lake Malawi, and is very popular with cichlid enthusiasts. Due to its aggressive nature, care is needed when housing Mel. auratus with peaceful cichlids. It can be combined with other mbuna provided they do not resemble its patterning. The tank should be crowdedthis spreads the aggression, and is better for the fish. Provide a large amount of rock work to reduce aggression and territory formation.

Feeding

Mel. auratus will accept most foods offered, but vegetable matter in the form of spirulina, spinach etc should form a large proportion of the diet. This can be supplemented with live and frozen food varieties, such as Aquarium Industries Naturals Range Leafy Spinach, and Malawi Cichlid Mix.
