The Indigo Elegance: Pseudotropheus Elegans Luwala

Introduce a profound and attractive blue presence to your African cichlid collection with the striking Pseudotropheus Elegans Luwala.

This popular Mbuna cichlid, sometimes found under the genus Chindongo or Maylandia, is named for its beautiful, slightly elongated form and its specific island habitat.

This particular variant originates from the rocky reefs around Luwala Reef and displays the highly desirable deep indigo or royal blue colouration, often highlighted by subtle vertical barring and contrasting yellow or orange fin accents.

The Elegans Luwala is an active and robust fish that serves as a distinguished centrepiece, offering both visual appeal and the engaging territorial behaviour typical of quality Mbuna cichlids.

Features an exceptional, deep indigo blue colouration on the male, giving it a rich, luxurious appearance that stands out clearly in the hard water aquarium setting.

Hails from the specific and authentic Luwala Reef locality, ensuring robust genetics and the intense blue pigmentation this island strain is renowned for.

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 to establish territories and compatible, 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 Luwala Elegans Cichlids with optimal colour intensity and finnage.

Don't miss the chance to own this bright and highly distinctive Pseudotropheus Elegans Luwala.

Shop with confidence and rely on quality for your next powerful royal blue Mbuna.
