Hau kolas..got my eye on a female placidochromis milano "VC-10" that the LFS
recently got in..the question is in trying to research this fish, I'm having
absolutely no luck finding info on the web..realistically, found a few
pictures and that's it. Nobody at the LFS really seemed to know much about
them, other than they are "super nasty" (?) and thatthey had received about
6, the female being the lone specimen remaining. She wasn't overtly
dominating the tank they had her in, but nobody was pushing their luck
either anything I should know where this fish differs from "regular"
malawi cichlid (diet, special water requirements etc). Anybody have any
experience with this one? As always, TIA.


I haven't had any for about twenty years when they were still
classified as Haplochromis. They spawned quite often and I raised a
few hundred of them. Males fight among themselves a lot and will kill
so it is only practical to keep one male in a tank. Females aren't so
bad. They aren't any more aggressive that similar Haplochromis types.
They will eat pellets. Don't give them meat - it will kill them
eventually. Water should be a bit alkaline but the hardness doesn't
matter.
