These fish are very popular in the aquarium hobby. Almost every store has them, and they provide a nice contrast to the mainly blue colored mbuna. Certain myths abound regarding the Labidochromis Caeruleus, one being that they make good community tank fish. I believe that most community fish would have a very hard time, besides that fact that Labidochromis require very hard alkaline water. It is true that they are somewhat peacefull fish, but even the most peaceful mbuna is much more aggressive than the typical community fish.
