Dwarf Mbuna Species List

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Labidochromis sp Hongi "Red Top Kimpuma" is a nice dwarf mbuna species as well. I wouldn't consider Labidochromis caeruleus to be a dwarf mbuna, IMO, because I have had large males reach upwards of 7". My Albino Lab male was just under 7". They dwarf the Dmasoni and Hongi for sure. My males were more than 2 times bigger than my adults of the true dwarf species like Demasoni and Hongi and even my Cobue they may have been 3 times bigger. Other than that it's a good list.
 
I woudnt call the labs or the socolofi dwarf,if those meet your criteria just about any mbuna would.
Add ps. saulosi
C. afra "white top hara"

They are to an extent but it all depends on what and how much you feed them . As I have 5 females that are about three inches and are wild and tank raised but i only feed once a day and only hikari excel and spirulina flake. So there are factors to how big something will get.

I believe they are speaking strictly about classified dwarf species. The actual growth rate and size in home aquaria will vary with any species.
