Champsochromis spilorhynchus is found all around Lake Malawi. Mainly it`s living above the sandy and muddy bottoms in reasonable shallow water. The males of these species can grow to about 35 cm in the lake, females grow to about 27 cm. Champsochromis spilorhynchus is a real predator. Young fish belong to his favourite meal. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank. We are dealing here with a species which likes eating fish, so we'll regularly have to offer him such kind of food like living small fish, mysis, krill,artemia, shrimpmix and they eat a lot of young fish when we keep them with mbunas. |
