Taeniochromis holotaenia
Taeniochromis holotaenia can be found in sandy and sometimes in rocky environments all around the lake.
In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, females are smaller, about 15 cm. In the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 24 cm, females grow to about 18 cm.
Taeniochromis holotaenia 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 mbunas.
