Chindongo sp."aggressive zebra mbenji" (formerly known as Pseudotropheus sp."aggressive zebra mbenji") can be found near the Mbenji Islands, the Maleri Islands and near Nkhudzi. They are living there in shallow sediment-free rocky zones. Usually you can see them on an average depth between 3 and 10 meters. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 11 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 13 cm, females grow to about 9 cm. Chindongo sp."aggressive zebra mbenji" can behave quite intolerant against all other inhabitants of an aquarium. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with algae and plankton when itīs available. 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 algae like spirulina pellets or flakes is very important to them so this should not be missing on their menu.
