Cynotilapia sp."lion" can be found along the coast of Malawi between Chadagha and Mara Rocks and also along the coast of Tanzania between Manda and Lupingu. They are living there in rocky environments and also in intermediate zones from rocks to sand. This variant can be found near Sanga, in the north of Lion's Cove. 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 12 cm, females grow to about 9 cm. Cynotilapia sp."lion" Sanga can behave intolerant against equal species but also to other inhabitants. You can best keep this species with multiple females and a lot of hiding places in the aquarium. In the lake, they feed primarily on plankton but also with algae that grow on 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.
