Nimbochromis polystigma is a cichlid which can be found all around the lake in all kinds of environments. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Mbenji Island. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 22 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. Then the males can grow to about 25 cm, females grow to about 20 cm. Nimbochromis ploystigma 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.
