B Grade Assorted African Male Cichlid

A colourful selection of male African cichlids offering excellent value and plenty of personality

Our B Grade Assorted African Male Cichlids are healthy, active fish that may have less intense colour, minor cosmetic imperfections, or slightly less ideal body shape than our A Grade selection. These differences do not affect their health or ability to thrive, making them an excellent-value option for colourful African cichlid aquariums.

The assortment may include Peacocks, Haps, and other compatible Lake Malawi cichlids in a variety of colours and patterns. They thrive in spacious aquariums with rocky structures, open swimming areas, strong filtration, and stable alkaline water. Their colour may continue to improve as they mature and settle into the aquarium.
