− | :Endemic to Lake Tanganyika. | + | |sexing=:Mature females are significantly smaller than males. |
− | + | |tank_compatibility=:Due to this fish's size it's best either kept in pairs or singly in species tanks. It can occasionally be combined with other large-growing Tanganyikan Cichlids. Large peaceful yet robust bottom-dwellers may also work. | |

− | :Mature females are significantly smaller than males. | + | |environment_specifics=:Requires hard alkaline with a pH 8.0 or above. Tank décor is not important as long as it's sturdy and a sand substrate is preferred. Needs a substantial amount of swimming space. |
− | + | |behaviour=:A generally peaceful fish to those of similar size, but will eat smaller fish. They are increasingly territorial to their own species as they mature. | |
− | + | |identification=:Said to be one of the largest African Cichlids in existence. The body is long with a yellow-green base colour, with faint vertical dark green lines running down from the dorsal fin, these get darker as the fish ages. The head is speckled with blue spots. | |
