Dimidiochromis kiwinge is found everywhere in Lake Malawi, mainly in sandy and rocky environments and in shallow water. The males of these species can grow to about 30 cm in the lake, females stay smaller. In the aquarium however the males can grow to about 35 cm because of a good feeding, females grow to about 27 cm. Dimidiochromis kiwinge 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 mbuna.
