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.
