Nyassachromis prostoma can be found in entire Lake Malawi. You can find them in shallow open water above the sandbottoms along beaches and also in the neighbourhood of the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. These examples were caught in the neighbourhood of Kanchedza Island in the southern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 14 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 16 cm, females grow to about 13 cm. Nyassachromis prostoma is mainly living in open water where it`s feeding itself with plankton. You can best keep this species with multiple females in a large tank with a lot of swimming space. 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.
