Champsochromis caeruleus is found everywhere in Lake Malawi, but mainly above the sandbottom in shallow bays. The males of these species can grow to about 25 cm in the lake, females grow to about 20 cm. In the aquarium however the males can grow to about 35 cm because of a good feeding, females grow to about 27 cm. Champsochromis caeruleus 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.
