Tyrannochromis macrostoma is found all around the lake, mainly in rocky environments and intermediate zones from rocks to sand. This female example was found in the neighbourhood of Manda. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 30 cm, females to about 25 cm. In the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 35 cm, females grow to about 30 cm. Tyrannochromis macrostoma 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.
