Can be kept with lively fish to help bring this species out of hiding when Calvus sees other fish swimming about, they will think that it is safe to come out. Do not combine with small, slender fishes under {{in|2}} in length as are likely to be eaten. Can be combined with other Lake Tanganyika Cichlids as well as [[Synodontis]] Catfish. |
