Mylochromis formosus is living in sandy environments, ususaly in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. They can be found in entire Lake Malawi. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 16 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 20 cm, females grow to about 16 cm. Mylochromis formosus 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.
