The Fiery Gem: Metriaclima Estherae Red Red

Introduce a brilliant, uniform blaze of fiery orange-red colour to your African cichlid collection with the sensational Metriaclima Estherae Red Red.

This highly prized line-bred strain of the popular Red Zebra Cichlid (formerly Maylandia estherae) is sought after for guaranteeing vibrant colouration in your aquarium, regardless of the fish’s sex.

The sexually mature individuals of this specific 'Red Red' strain display a uniform, solid deep reddish-orange or apricot colour across the entire body, eliminating the blue or OB patterns often associated with other estherae morphs.

The Red Red is an active and robust Mbuna that ensures maximum visual impact, providing a vivid and consistent centrepiece to contrast with your blue and black cichlids.

Features a unique advantage where both males and females display a solid, deep reddish-orange colouration, guaranteeing a high degree of colour consistency throughout your colony.

A highly popular and available variant of the Red Zebra Cichlid, making it an excellent choice for beginner and experienced cichlid keepers alike.

Reaches a manageable size of around 4 to 5 inches (10-13 cm), making it an ideal medium-sized, bold addition to a mixed-Mbuna display.

Possesses a moderately territorial disposition, ideally suited for tanks with ample rockwork and a blend of other similarly sized, herbivorous cichlids.

Thrives in standard African Rift Lake conditions with hard, alkaline water (pH 7.5-8.5) and a diet based primarily on high-quality vegetable and spirulina-rich foods.

Expertly sourced and maintained specimens ensure you receive healthy, high-quality Red Red Cichlids with optimal colour intensity and patterning.

Don't miss the chance to own this bright and highly desirable Metriaclima Estherae Red Red.
