General Information Located throughout the lake. Found in shallow water over the sandy to rocky habitat. P. annectens is an opportunistic feeder and will redily consume anything it can fit into it's mouth. Also feeds on invertebrates filtered out from the sand.

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.
