Mylochromis ensatus can be found in the southern part of the lake where they are living in sandy environments. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Mazinzi Reef. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 22 cm, females grow to about 16 cm. Mylochromis ensatus is a species which is mainly living on invertebrates, which they find on the sandbottom. 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. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank with a lot of swimming space.
