Provide a large amount of rockwork arranged to create numerous
caves and passages. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered
with fine sand.
Diet:
Carnivorous. In nature feeds primarily on small crustaceans,
insects, and their larvae. The long, pointed teeth allow prey
to be pulled from narrow rock crevices.
Aggression:
Peaceful both within the species and toward other species.
Multiple males can be kept together if each is provided
with its own cave.
Special notes:
Very similar to Labidochromis chisumulae 'Chizumulu', differing
only by the absence of a black stripe along the lower edge of
the dorsal fin. Females of both forms are identical.
