The males can then grow to about 14 cm, females grow to about 10 cm. Placidochromis sp."jalo" is a quiet, peaceful species which can be hold best with multiple females and with other quiet species, also with not too agressive mbuna, in a large tank with a lot of swimming space and enough hiding places.

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.
