Cyrtocara moorii is living in a sandy environment in reasonable shallow water. You can find them all around the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 25 cm, females grow to about 18 cm. You can best keep this species with multiple females in a large tank with a lot of swimming space and other cichlids from sandy environments. In the lake they are swimming behind big fish which swirl up the sand in which they are searching for food. 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.
