Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus can only be found in the southern part of the lake, along the western coast up to Kande and along the eastern coast up to Chimwalani Reef. They are mainly living in the shallow intermediate zones from rocks to sand but also in environments with vegetation. This male example was found in the neighbourhood of Mazinzi Reef. In the lake the males of these species can grow to about 25 cm, females grow to about 20 cm. Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus is a real predator. Young fish belong to his favourite meal. 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.
