Mylochromis gracilis is living in shallow waters, in sandy environments with some rocks or vegetation. You can only find this species in the southern part of 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. Mylochromis gracilis 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 with a lot of space to swim. 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.
