Aquarium Information

• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters) for a single male or a small group with one male and multiple females.
• Compatibility: Best kept with other large, robust Lake Malawi cichlids of similar temperament. Avoid keeping with overly aggressive species or very small, timid fish. Can be kept in a species-only tank or a mixed cichlid setup.
