Located in the southern half of Lake Malawi. Found in the intermediate habitat. Diet in the wild consists of small fish.
The aquarium should have some rockwork but still provide lot's of open swimming space both along the bottom and mid-tank region. Feed a quality cichlid flake/pellet food, supplement occasionally with frozen brine, krill, mysis and feeder fish.
N. fuscotaeniatus is a predator and often ambushes smaller fish. For that reason, it should not be kept with smaller Haps and Mbuna. |
