== Origin ==
 
:Endemic to Lake Tanganyika, in Africa.
 
 
 
     
 
== Sexing ==
 
:Difficult when young, mature males are more intensely coloured.
 
 
 
== Breeding ==
 
:Mouth breeder, a male will fertilize the eggs of the female near a rock.
 
     
 
== Tank compatibility ==
 
:Docile cichlids that do well in most Tanganyikan communities, they inhabit the upper layer of the aquarium, so bottom- and rock inhabitants with low or mediocre aggression are a good choice as tankmates.
 
 
 
     
 
== Diet ==
 
:Prefers a omnivorous diet, including live food, small fish, [[mysis shrimp]], large aquatic insects and crustaceans. Dry foods should be accepted when the fish settle into their tank, especially in captive fish.
 
 
 
     
 
== Feeding regime ==
 
:Feed once or twice a day, as with most fish.
 
 
 
     
 
== Environment specifics ==
 
:Like most other Tanganyikan cichlids, this fish does not deliberately damage plants, so plants can be kept. Most variants grow to about 3-4 inches and live in the upper layer of the aquarium. They need rockwork to breed, so they should be provided with (vertical) rock piles. Can be kept in a 40 gallon minimum aquarium. Like most Tanganyikan cichlids, do not take excess nitrates very well, so tanks should have two 25% water changes weekly: they also do not like changing water conditions, so the new water should be close in parameters to the old water.
 
 
 
     
 
== Behaviour ==
 
:Does not school, but is best kept in small groups. Is very active, but not aggressive. It will not claim any rocks or sand territory.
 
 
 
     
 
== Identification ==
 
:Rusty colour with blue lines.
