OB zebras (orange blotch or marble zebra)

Lake Malawi rift lake cichlid in the Mbuna group. Highly territorial and aggressive when mature and breeding.

Thank you sir! What other cichlids do you recommend to keep with them in a 55 gal?

Only other lake malawi mbuna. There are dozens of species. They need very specific tank set ups, and will eat your plants.
