Pseudotropheus sp."ndumbi gold" is living solitary in the deeper rocky environments. They can only be found near Ndumbi Rocks, Maingano and Makulawe Point. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 10 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 12 cm, females grow to about 10 cm. Pseudotropheus sp."ndumbi gold" is a reasonable peaceful cichlid, mutual and against other species they are very tolerant. You can best keep this species with multiple females and together with other not too agressive mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with everything they can find on the rocks, also the algae from these rocks which are covered with algae and they feed themselves with plankton. 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. Food rich of algea like spirulina pellets or flakes is very important to them so this should not be missing on their menu.
