No problem.  I will just keep sitting here staring at the computer day and night for a while longer.

Min Tank Size 75 Gallons

General Information Located between Njambe and Mbamba Bay. Found in the shallow, rocky habitat. Diet in the wild consists of aufwuchs and insects taken from the water column.

The aquarium should have some rockwork but still provide open swimming space both along the bottom and mid-tank region. Feed a quality cichlid flake/pellet food, supplement occasionally with frozen brine, krill or mysis.

Aufwuchs,  New word of the week.  lol

This guy is fitting in perfect in my 140 gallon mixed tank.


And WOW... is it a veracious eater!!  At this rate... he should grow quite fast.  It will come 3/4 of its body out of the water to try to get to the food.

He's coming up on size with the Venustus and Livingstoni... the two biggest fish in the tank.
