The PS Pearl Zebra Cichlid for sale – The Shimmering Cobalt Icon of Malawi
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. The PS Pearl Zebra Cichlid for sale (also known as the Cobalt Blue Zebra) is a staple for a reason. Unlike many Mbuna that are defined by their bars, the Pearl Zebra is prized for its solid, uniform coloration. Depending on the angle of the light, these fish shift from a soft ghostly white to an intense, metallic sky blue. They provide a vital “visual break” in busy tanks, acting as a bright anchor among more patterned species.
Approximate size: 2.5″
Why the Fish R Us Pearl Zebra is a Must-Have:
Flawless Iridescent Sheen: We select for “clean” genetics, ensuring our Pearl Zebras are free of muddy barring or dark spots. You get a solid, radiant blue from nose to tail.
The “Light-Maker” of the Tank: Because of their light-reflective scales, these fish literally brighten up dark rockwork, making the entire aquarium appear more vivid.
Robust & Spirited: Pearl Zebras are classic Mbuna—bold, active, and full of personality. They are constantly interacting with their environment, making them a joy to observe.
Premium Conditioning: At Fish R Us, our Zebras are raised on high-quality spirulina and mineral-rich water to ensure they arrive with strong bone structure and “show-ready” color.
Specifications:
Max Growth Size: 5″ – 6″
Temperament: Aggressive (Typical Mbuna; best in “crowded” rocky setups to disperse aggression)
Ideal Tank: 55+ Gallons with high-flow filtration and plenty of caves.
Diet: Herbivore (High-quality spirulina flakes and algae-based pellets)
Tip: Spirulina and Algae Wafers should make up 70 – 80% of their diet. Spirulina is the “secret sauce” for their immune system and natural blues. Try our Fish R Us Premium Spirulina Superfood Pellets and our Fish R Us Premium Algae Wafers.
