Iodotropheus sp."londo" is found along the Mozambican coast between Londo and Mesule (between Lumbaulo and Ntumba). They are living there in a rocky environment but they are only rarely observed. 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 cm, females grow to about 8 cm. Iodotropheus sp."londo" is one of the most peaceful cichlids of the lake, only mutual they are sometimes intolerant, against other species they are very tolerant. You can best keep this species with multiple females and a lot of hiding places in the aquarium, with other not to agressive mbuna. In the lake they are eating everything they find on the rocks which are covered with algae. 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.
