Hemitaeniochromis spilopterus can be found everywhere in Lake Malawi. They are mainly living in the rocky parts of the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. This variant is found near Mazinzi Reef. In the lake the males of these species can grow to about 25 cm, females stay smaller, they grow to about 18 cm. Hemitaeniochromis spilopterus is a predator which probably likes eating eggs and very small fish. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank. We are dealing here with a species which likes eating fish, so we'll regularly have to offer him such kind of food like living small fish, mysis, krill, artemia, shrimpmix and they eat a lot of young fish when we keep them with mbuna.
