Yellow Mara Elongatus (Metriaclima usisyae)

Remarks: Metriaclima usisyae, formerly M. sp. Elongatus Usisya, are found around Usisya and Mara Rocks. Females are golden-brown with black fins, while males are a striking yellow with subtle, dark bands running vertically down their flanks. There may be some light blue barring in the forehead and back as well. Like all mbuna, they are typically only aggressive towards other males that look similar, so keeping them with fish of a different appearance will avoid most aggression issues.  Scientific Name: Metriaclima usisyae Common Name: Yellow Mara Elongatus Max Size: 4" pH: 7.5-8.4 Hardness: Hard Temperature: 74-82° Aggressiveness: Aggressive Region of Origin: Lake Malawi, Africa Captive Bred or Wild: Captive Bred Diet: Flake food low in protein Compatibility: Mbuna, Synodontis catfish Tank Mate Options: Williamsi Blue Lips White Tail Acei Chindongo socolofi *****Please review our Shipping and Handling FAQ prior to placing your order.
