Now, she'll be looking for an appropriate home to help her thrive and let her personality blossom. <br/><br/>While she makes no exception to being feisty when under stress, Marmalade has a cute shy side and loves to play Peek-a-Boo. She'll hide around something and as you look for her, Marmalade will give you a quick "hello" before running off to hide. Marmalade is curious and playful once she opens up. <br/><br/>On 9/14/25, Marmalade was transferred to Medical Bay to begin deworming as a precaution. No medical symptoms have been present since intake. Will be released for adoption 9/18/25. <br/><br/>When adopting a new fish, you must always quarantine new fish for a minimum of two weeks but four to eight are always preferred. <br/>--------<br/><br/>About the Red Zebra Cichlid<br/><br/>Lifespan: 5 - 10 Years<br/>Tank Size: 55 Gallons <br/>Water Temp: 73° - 80° F <br/>pH: 7.5 - 8.5 <br/>Hardness: 10 - 15<br/>Attitude: Semi-Aggresive - Aggressive <br/>Mbuna Cichlids are known to be territorial and feisty. They can thrive with other similarly sized Cichlids as long as ample hiding space is provided. <br/><br/>Substrate: Sandy, Gravel<br/>**These guys like to dig and redecorate. Unlike most aquariums, these guys prefer more rocks and caves to explore rather than plants. They're more likely to uproot and destroy plants.
