Cynotilapia sp."three peaks deep" is living in the deeper rocky habitats, also in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. These examples were caught near Three Peaks Reef, a little west from Zimbawe Rock. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 10 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 11-12 cm, females grow to about 9 cm. Cynotilapia sp."three peaks deep" can behave quite 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.
