Chindongo demasoni (formerly known as Pseudotropheus demasoni) is living in a rocky environment and it can be found at Pombo Rocks and Ndumbi Rocks. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 8 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 10 cm, females grow to about 8 cm. Chindongo demasoni can behave intolerant against all other inhabitants in the aquarium. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas - no look alikes - in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with invertebrates and algae from the rocks. 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.
