Hello Fellow Fish Keepers!
In this video we look at Pseudotropheus saulosi, a dwarf mbuna cichlids from Lake Malawi in Africa. This is a great cichlid because you get two really nice colors depending on male or female.
Here are some videos that highlight fish that can be stocked with Pseudotropheus saulosi:

I've had a 55 ready and waiting for me to decide what to put in there, ive been going back and forth with a yellow lab demasoni mix because of the color combo and this video just made it easy for me. Love the color these guys will bring to the tank! Keep up the great work, love the videos

Bingo! My assorted juvenile cichlid is a Saulosi! I have been trying to figure it out before I added anything else to the tank. I think it’s important that people notice they are a different color as a juvenile than when they are an adult. That’s why it was taking me so long to identify mine.😄

I love this species of mbuna; their colours are gorgeous. I know I should wait until the fry are bigger than the adult's mouth before adding them to the main tank, but do you have an estimate about how many weeks old that may be?

Great video as always! I have a question for you, I saw this species in another video some months ago, it was just one of quite a few tanks owned by the caretaker and was only briefly highlighted in the video but the Saulosi cichlids have captured my attention ever since. I have a 75 gal that I am setting up, my original plan was a planted angelfish community but these cichlids keep popping into my mind. I've been doing some research and it seems like they would be good for someone who has never kept african cichlids before like myself, my question is how many would you recommend in a 75 gallon tank and what type of cleanup crew is safe with them?

I have 5 Saulosi now about 8 months old and am unsure of Male or Female. None have any sign of blue but 3 have stripes that become visible as well as a black edge to the dorsal and pectoral fins. Watching this video I noticed one of your females shows the stripes and edging as well. I'm beginning to think I have all females. They are housed in an 85G with Acie, Cobalts, Red Zebs, OB's and Joanjohnsonae. Is there any definitive amount of time they would have turned by?

Question? I just picked up 30 of these for a 75 gallon aquarium and seem to have the same type of variant you show in your videos. Was kinda bummed as I didn’t examine them in advance and just took their word that they were in fact regular Saulosi. Seems they have a term for these called “coral reds” and they are a man made variant of the Saulosi and some type of hybrid. Females are orange and not yellow and they have broken bars or too many bars. I wanted to breed them and honestly not sure if many people would want this variety? Are you guys still having good luck with your’s? What are your thoughts of this variety as opposed the the pure strain of Chindongo Saulosi in which females are yellow?

Hi! love your videos, I wanted to ask, would 6 Pseudotropheus saulosi (ideally 2 males 4 females) work for a 60 gallon tank? Or would it be risky to keep it this understocked? I'd put in a lot of rocks to provide cover and hides. I'd also get them very young so they can grow together and I'm planning for it to be a one species only tank.

Now I'm really wishing I'd gone with these instead of the yellow lab/ demasoni combo. Demasoni are a cool mbuna but they have a ridiculous amount of aggression and are extremely shy and I'm going to rehome all but the fry and maybe 1 adult as I can't stand the constant battles amongst the 8 fish. On the bright side the fry seem to be ok with each other and school together frequently. The yellow labs were more peaceful but 4 was a terrible number so I think I'll stick with 1 adult yellow lab and the big group of fry

Possibly - something like an acei might work, but make sure you have a back up plan just in case!

Too big for 32.5 gallon flex? I feel like I male, 3-4 females would look soooooo nice!

I have juveniles around two inches long and they have similar colouring. Every picture and video I've seen online shows similar colouring as well. The interesting thing about these fish is that the colours will vary between dominant/subdominant males, and dominant/subdominant females, so you get this array of shades from both sexes. Food quality isn't the only factor to consider. I feed mine high quality food and they look like the video above, and varying shades between.

A fish that generally swims in the open waters and tends not to be fearful. It can help bring out fish that are shy.
