Gephyrochromis moorii can mainly be found in the northern and central part of the lake however they were also spotted near Narungu in the southeastern part. They are living in small groups on an average depth of 20 metres above the sandbottom in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. This variant was found near Itungi in the northern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to about 13 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding, females stay smaller. Gephyrochromis moorii is in common a real peaceful cichlid. You can best keep this species with other peaceful (Mbuna) species and multiple females in a tank with enough places to hide. In the lake they are seeking the sand for food. 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.
