These brightly colored fish are native to the rocky shores of Lake Tanganyika in Africa and are a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts. At Pet Zone SD, we understand the importance of providing your fish with the best care and environment, and that's why we highly recommend these vibrant little fish.

One of the main characteristics of multies is their vibrant colors and small stature.  Another defining characteristic of multies is their small size, typically growing to be only about 2 inches max in length. 

When it comes to care and maintenance, multies are relatively easy to keep and maintain. They prefer a pH level between 7.5 and 8.5 and a water temperature of around 78-82 degrees Fahrenheit. They also prefer a diet that is high in protein, such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and other small invertebrates.

When it comes to tank setup, multies are known to be shell dwellers, meaning that they prefer to live in and around empty snail shells or other types of shells. These shells not only provide them with a sense of security, but they also use them to lay their eggs. They also appreciate a well-decorated tank with plenty of hiding places and caves for them to explore.

That's why we carry a wide selection of shells and other tank decorations to help you create the perfect home for your new multies.
