Pseudotropheus sp."aggressive grey" can be found around Likoma Island. This example is from Masimbwe Islet, a little southern from Likoma Island. They live there in the upper waterlevel in the shallow intermediate zones from rocks to sand. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 12 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 14 cm, females grow to about 10 cm. Pseudotropheus sp."aggressive grey" can behave intolerant against equal species and other inhabitants. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with algae and invertebrates which they find on the rocks. 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. Food rich of algae like spirulina pellets or flakes is very important to them so this should not be missing on their menu.
