Mylochromis sp."mollis chitande" is a rare cichlid which mainly lives in the deeper sedimentrich rocky habitats, between 10 and 35 meters. They can be found between Mdoka and Maison Reef. These examples were caught in the neighbourhood of Chitande Island. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 16 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 17 cm, females grow to about 14 cm. Mylochromis sp."mollis chitande" is feeding itself with invertebrates which they pick out of the "Aufwuchs" on the rocks. In the aquarium they are comfortable with any food. They take everything they get offered, like spirulina pellets, mysis, artemia, cyclops and shrimp-peas mix. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank with a lot of swimming space.
