Diplotaxodon limnothrissa can be found in entire Lake Malawi and is living in large schools in deep open water on an average depth of 30 meters. In the lake this species can grow to about 16 cm. It`s best to keep Diplotaxodon limnothrissa in a big group in a specially for them prepared tank with a lot of swimming space. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with plankton and sometimes with "usipa" (Engraulicypris sardella), a species which looks like a pilchard. In the aquarium we also have to feed them with such kind of young fish.
