Aristochromis christyi is found everywhere in Lake Malawi. Mainly you can find them in depths between 2 and 10 meter where they live in intermediate zones from rocks to sand. In this environment this species is hunting for young mbuna. The males of these species can grow up to 30 cm, females grow to about 25 cm. Aristochromis christyi is a real predator. Young fish up to a length of around 7 cm 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.
