Located between Chadagha and Mara Rocks and between Manda and Lupingu. Found in the shallow intermediate habitat. Diet in the wild consists of algae and plankton.
The aquarium should have plenty of rockwork to provide shelter, territorial markers and spawning sites. Feed a quality cichlid flake/pellet food. Supplement with spirulina flake and frozen foods such as krill, brine or mysis.
