Cynotilapia axelrodi can be found in intermediate zone`s from rocks to sand (always in the neigbourhood of the rocks) along the northwestern coast from Lion`s Cove to Mundola Point. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 9 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 11 cm, females grow to about 8 cm. Cynotilapia axelrodi can behave intolerant against equal species but also to other inhabitants. You can best keep this species with multiple females and a lot of hiding places in the aquarium. In the lake, they feed primarily on plankton but also with algae that grow on the rocks. In the aquarium they are comfortable with any food. They take everything they get offered, like spirulina pellets, mysis, artemia, cyclops and shrimp-peas mix.
