Mylochromis incola is usually living in big groups. They can be found in entire Lake Malawi, in reasonable shallow water with sandy bottoms and vegetation but also in shallow intermediate zones from rocks to sand. These examples were caught in the neighbourhood of Chidunga Rocks in the southwestern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 15 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 20 cm, females grow to about 15 cm. Mylochromis incola is living on insectlarvas and other invertebrates which they jig out of the sand. 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.
