Doing large, frequent water changes is necessary to keep Albino zebras happy and healthy. Albino zebras also need low levels of dissolved pollutants to remain healthy.

Adding an airstone or heavy circulation is recommended to keep the oxygen levels in the water high. Maylandia estherae (the Red Zebra mbuna, Red Zebra Cichlid, or Esther Grants Zebra) is a haplochromine cichlid. Their native water has a very high oxygen and dissolved mineral content and they need a high pH to thrive in the home aquarium. Albino zebras can also also be quite picky about water quality. They will dart in and out of the crevices, establish territories, and graze for algae if the tank is to their liking. They like a lot of rocks in the aquarium to feel secure. In captivity, they appreciate a tank that replicates their home environment. Mbuna is a Tonga word meaning “rockfish,” and like all mbuna species, zebras can be found in the wild scouring large, rock reefs for algae and other small organisms. While they are plentiful in their habitat, they are considered vulnerable because of their limited range. The Albino Red Top Zebra Cichlid are an Albino form of the Metriclima greshaki that are native only to the reefs of Lake Malawi in Africa. ![]()
