Copadichromis sp."maisoni" can only be found in the neighbourhood of Maisoni Reef in the nortwestern part of the lake. They are living there near intermediate zones from rocks to sand on an average depth of about 25 metres. Mainly you can find the males close to the rocks while the females build small groups in open water on a small distance from these rocks. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 12 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 13 cm, females grow to about 10 cm. Copadichromis sp."maisoni" is mainly living in open water where it`s feeding itself with plankton. You can best keep this species with multiple females in a large tank with a lot of swimming space. 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.
