Hemitaeniochromis sp."insignis mumbo" can be found in the southern part of Lake Malawi. They are mainly living there in intermediate zones from rocks to sand. This species was described earlier as Hemitaeniochromis sp"urotaenia mumbo" and later as Hemitaeniochromis insignis. In the lake the males of these species can grow to about 25 cm, females stay smaller, they grow to about 20 cm. Hemitaeniochromis sp."insignis mumbo" is a predator which likes eating eggs and very small fish. 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.
