Answer 1

Kashif,

I've answered your questions before, and I'm not trying to promote my own web site to answer you.

Yes, Malawi Africans shouldn't have a steady diet of high protein foods, but you can give a food like that once or twice a week.  This is mostly about Malawi in general then it is about Ps. Demasoni.  Ps. Demasoni have a blue body with black stripes and like all typical Pseudotropheus species, have the torpedo shaped bodies.  These are more aggressive types then the more popular of all Mbuna sold in trade, but as always, how many you can have or should have will still depend on your tank size.

How many groups?  What do you mean?  Like how many tanks?  1 group in one tank.  If you mean how many in a group, it still depends on your tank size.  and if you are mixing them in with others.  If say you have a 55 gallon tank, added in proper amounts of rock, and you are just going to keep Demasoni, you could keep probably 15-20 of them, if just that.  If you are mixing species, I'd like to know what else is being mixed in.  YES more then one male will be issues, but in a single species only, that changes things up.
