I added a Placidochromis milomo VC-10 to my 20-gallon Lake Malawi tank. The fish is active and colorful, especially the male with bright red and blue hues. It gets along well with other cichlids and doesn’t show aggression. Easy to care for and a great addition to a peaceful community setup.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. The fleshy lips are quite noticeable. I’ve kept it with a few other Malawi cichlids, and there’s no fighting. It’s a calm fish that enjoys the surface activity and stays in the mid-level zone.

This species is a standout in my tank. The male shows vivid colors, especially during the day. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase smaller fish. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it for a balanced community aquarium.
