| Because the Dinghani is aggressive, it's best to keep one male with at least three females. Males have yellow and black stripes. Females have a brown colour with black stripes. This mbuna grows long and slender. In the wild, Dinghani eats plankton in open water and algae that grows on rocks. Dinghani are best fed on Spirulina-based flake food in an aquarium. | |
| BREEDING | |
| Breeding Dinghani isn't difficult. Demasoni often breed after a water change. The male chases the females around to breed with them. Dinghani are mouth brooders. They will take their young into their mouths to protect them. | |
