Snow White pseudotropheus

Snow White Pseudotropheus (Pseudotropheus sp.)

At Paws and Claws Manawatu, Snow White Pseudotropheus are a striking African cichlid choice for hobbyists looking to add bold colour and personality to their aquarium.

Known for their clean white to pale cream colouring, these Malawi mbuna cichlids stand out beautifully against rockwork. Like other Pseudotropheus species, they are active, territorial fish best suited to African cichlid-only setups with plenty of rocks and hiding spaces.

Snow White Pseudotropheus thrive in hard, alkaline water and should be kept with other robust Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament. Proper stocking, aquascaping, and diet are key to managing aggression.
