{"product_id":"parachromis-multifasciatus","title":"Parachromis multifasciatus","description":"\u003cp\u003eMultifasciatus, affectionately known as multis, hail from Lake Tanganyika in East Africa and grow to around 4.5cm in length. They are the smallest of the shell-dwelling cichlids and are utterly captivating to watch, darting in and out of their shells with remarkable speed and personality for such a compact fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multis are highly territorial and centre their entire lives around a shell. A deep sandy substrate and a generous supply of empty snail shells, ideally escargot-style, are essential. They will breed readily and defend their shells fiercely, so tank mates should be chosen with care; other Tanganyikan species that occupy different zones of the aquarium work best. Water should be hard and alkaline to reflect their rift lake origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Wirral Aquatics we feed our Parachromis multifasciatus EBO Pro soft artemia, mussel sticks and insect meal. Me also feed a range of live foods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54575479652680,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/8da179d0-91fc-416c-affe-98cf3468dbbe-2c970c5f_40f3ce3c-d5cc-4f28-86da-9c1c4b3718cf.jpg?v=1794414236","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/parachromis-multifasciatus","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
