Originating from the rocky shores of Lake Malawi, this variety is highly sought after for its striking contrast and constant activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"790\"\u003eLike other Mbuna, they are active, territorial, and best kept in rocky aquariums that mimic their natural habitat. Providing plenty of hiding spots helps reduce aggression and allows for natural behaviours to develop. Best suited to species-only or carefully planned African cichlid setups, the Jalo Reef Afra brings colour, movement, and attitude to any tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"jnt6uo\" data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"809\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"831\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate aquarists and African cichlid aquariums\u003cbr data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"887\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"909\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 litres\u003cbr data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"923\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"923\" data-end=\"945\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003cbr data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"956\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"969\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5–8.5\u003cbr data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"980\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6+ to spread aggression\u003cbr data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive; best with other Mbuna\u003cbr data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
